-We want to maximize our efficiency in a 90 sec window or less.
-This will leave us with 90seconds minimum of rest before repeating the next interval.
-Choose exercises that will enable you to move fast and efficiently.
-Have SUB in mind for when those exercise options get difficult and slow you down.
Goal:
-Maintain a sprint pace for all 5 rounds.
-Repeatable times each round. (Within 10 seconds is ideal)
-Your score will be the time it takes you to complete the interval each round (5 seperate scores).

-While keeping the torso facing straight ahead, press the weight overhead finishing with the bicep next to the ear and the elbow locked out.
-Slowly lower the bar back to the shoulder and repeat for the designated number of reps.
Chinese Rows
-Use an elevated surface to help allow for full extension of the arms.
-While laying in a prone position, retract the shoulder blades and squeeze the glutes.

Side Plank Hip Raises
-From a side plank position with feet stacked, slowly lower the hips until your bottom hip has tapped the floor.
