STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: PAIN CAVE! This one is going to hurt my friends. You can’t avoid it, you can’t run from it, you can’t escape it. Move through these 2 movements like you are on fire! Aim to even keep a faster cycle rate on your double unders and wall balls than you normally do.
How it should Feel: PAIN! This classic combo allows us to move at bigger unbroken sets with a lot of intensity, but that makes it hurt!
WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Unders: This is a BIG set! If you can handle 1-2 sets, then go for it (even if it costs you on the wall balls). Otherwise aim for a challenging rope speed for you while minimizing trip ups.
Wall Balls: 50 is another formidable set for us! Unbroken is the gold standard, but set it down if you have to before completely redlining.
SCALING
The SCALING aim is to keep intensity high and finish near the target time!
Scaling option to finish near the target score:
