*Establish exercise choice and movements that will allow for speed/sprint pace.

Focus Points:

-Today's main focus is safety but with intensity. These are Sprints!

-If perfromed correctly, your heart rate will be elevated and your legs will burn!

-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
