Big Class Modification
Start Athletes on Delay to allow for 4 stations here.
Stimulus and Objectives:
Score: Total Calories on Echo Bike
Goal: 15–25 (M) / 10-20 (F) Calories Per Echo Interval
Stimulus: Upper Body Gymnastics Control + Midline Capacity + Echo Sprint Effort
RPE: 8.5/10
Primary Objective: Maintain Quality Reps on the HSPU and GHD Sit-Ups
Secondary Objective: Maximize sustainable output on the bike after gymnastics demand
Workout Strategy:
“Why So Serious?” is a test of gymnastics integrity and recovery under fatigue, with an opportunity to cash out on the bike for score. The EMOM structure builds in muscular fatigue before each sprint, requiring athletes to manage tension and output.
The strict wall-facing HSPU will challenge shoulder stamina and midline control. These should be completed in 1–2 sets (5-3 or 4-4) … form is the priority here. We like the Wall Facing Handstand Push-Ups because it develops better body alignment and strict pressing strength capacity.
GHD Sit-Ups follow up with explosive hip extension and flexion, which will challenge midline integrity towards the end of the workout. Maintain rhythm and tension without overextending or compromising breathing.
The Echo Bike should be a hard, focused effort, not an all-out sprint, while staying aggressive enough to maximize calories without crashing. Build into the pace in the first 10 seconds, hold for 30, and push in the final 5–10 seconds.
