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.
