COACH'S NOTES
Beginner's Option:
15 Rounds
1 Clean
5 Wall Balls
-Today's workout is about choosing options that allow you to have minimal transition times.
-The wall balls should be heavier than you're used to going but still doable for 5 reps each set.
-The clean should be a weight that is doable for you even when fatigued.
-The clean shouldn't be so heavy that you have to think about it before picking it up.
Focus Points
-Since the clean is only 1 rep per round today, focus on a quality setup for every single rep.
-The wall balls need to be unbroken for 5 reps.
-Smooth transitions is key for this workout.
-Be methodical in your pacing and focus on calm breathing with continuous movement.
Goal:
A good pace is being able to sustain 2-3 minutes for every 5 rounds completed.
