“Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” – Scott Adams
How does an echo start?
With a tiny sound. One that in and of itself, might not even be noticeable. But shortly thereafter that soft sound, comes it’s echo. Still maybe nothing to turn heads. Yet, this echo builds upon its previous. And again. And then again. Before we know it, it’s impossible to ignore.
It’s called the “changing of the echos”, and it starts with a single tiny noise. Will we start one today?

Practice Round:
5/4 Calorie Assault Bike
6 Power Snatches
5/4 Calorie Assault Bike
3 Power Snatches
Stimulus
– Conditioning Category: Threshold
– The weight on the barbell should feel very light. It should be something you can complete all sets of power snatches in no more than 2 sets.
– The bike should be cleared in 1:00 or less each round.
– Score: Time
Strategy
THE BIG TAKEAWAYS
1. While we don’t want to be casual on the bike, we don’t want to push so hard that we can’t immediately pick up the bar each round.
2. To help control our breathing and heart rate, let’s think smooth reps on the snatches to keep ourselves under control. We want to hit big sets here so cycling the bar quickly will likely cause us to break more in the later rounds.
3. Even though the weight is light, let’s not be afraid to drop under the bar instead of muscle snatching every rep.
Row Conditioning
Row Conditioning
3 Sets: 30/24 Calorie Row
Rest :30s between, and 2:00 after the final.
3 Sets: 25/20 Calorie Row
Rest :30s between.
Stimulus
– Working short intervals here on the rower.
– We want to reach here a little on each interval to get comfortable pushing that threshold pace a little. Guys can aim to row above 1000 cals/hr and ladies can aim to row above 900 cals/hr.
