Stimulus and Strategy
Today’s workout consists of consecutive Tabata intervals with a weightlifting movement and a gymnastics movement. Aim to work for most of the 20 seconds with minimal rest. Use light to moderate loading for the deadlifts, and consider stepping off the box during box jump-overs to jump into the next repetition safely. Transition quickly between the movements.
