A) Whiteboard Brief (0:00 – 3:00)
– Strength: Today we are performing ”cluster sets” which are small bouts of rest in between sets which will allow you to perform more volume than a straight set. In this case 2.2.2 resting 10s after each set of 2. These should be challenging sets of 2.
– Metcon: Don’t let this workout fool you, there is a high volume of work here. Most of you are going to struggle with the Barbell Row as this is a movement we don’t normally perform in a metcon, but challenge yourself to complete all of this work as strict as possible.
