Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

Split Squat: Challenging, Unbroken Loads @ 20×1 Tempo

Shoulder Press starts @ 80%+ and build to a heavy 3 or the day

Stimulus: Absolute Strength Development / Unilateral Strength

The focus here is on structural strength work for the knees and hips, while using the superset to target our upper body overhead press progression.

RPE: 6/10 *this should be challenging, but nothing that really fully taxes the body

Key focus areas:

Tension and controlled tempos for these lifts

Controlled Descent + Fast Ascent (For both the Split Squat and the Shoulder Press

Modifications:

Traditional Split Squat or Adjust to a Step-Up for those with knee issues

Consider adjusting to a Dual or Single Dumbbell Press. A Landmine Press could be another good alternative.

Primary Objective: Complete each round in under 90 seconds

Secondary Objective: Unbroken reps across

Stimulus: Upper Body Density / Quick Transitions

RPE : 8/10
Movement Breakdown & Strategy

3 Bar Facing Burpees

Move efficiently but not recklessly.

Step down, jump up, quick turn-and-face the bar each time.

Use burpees to regulate heart rate—don’t sprint but stay moving.

Keep breathing controlled during these short sets.

5 Thrusters (95/65 lb, 43/30 kg)

Lightweight and fast cycling.

Aim to go unbroken every time.

Breathe at the top of the rep, not during the squat or press.

Keep the bar path tight and use strong hip drive to make the press-out easier.

Strategy (No Measure)

7 Toes-to-Bar

Midline and grip will fatigue over time, but sets are small.

Aim for unbroken or quick 4-3, 5-2 sets if needed.

Focus on tight kip swings and minimize excessive arching.

Relax the grip slightly at the top to save hands when possible.

Scaling options: hanging knee raises or toes-to-space if needed.

Pacing & Recovery Tips

Early rounds should feel smooth and repeatable—no sprinting in the first 3-4 minutes.

Breathing is key: breathe through the burpees and thrusters so you’re composed when you hit the rig.

If grip starts to fail later, quick sets on toes-to-bar will preserve rhythm without full burnout.

Push hard in the final 2-3 minutes—finish strong by speeding up cycle time slightly on each movement.

Box Height: 20in

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

“Neon Uprising” is a team-based, rotating station workout that combines aerobic power, skill work, lower body stamina, and upper body strength.

Goal : Maximize reps (or calories) at each working station

Stimulus: Aerobic power, stamina under fatigue, muscular endurance

RPE: 7.5–8.5/10

Focus: Consistent effort at each station, quick transitions, and smooth coordination across the team

Key focus areas:

Manage effort on the row—strong but sustainables

Stay composed on high-skill and high-rep stations (Double Unders, Box Step-Ups)

Control breathing and tension during strength stations (Bench Press)
Movement Breakdown & Strategy

Station 1: 20/16 Calorie Row

This station dictates the rotation, so pacing matters. Athletes should row at around 80-85% intensity, aiming for a consistent finish around 1:00-1:20 depending on ability. Strong, efficient pulls with a steady stroke rate (24–30 SPM) will keep the team moving without major bottlenecks.

Station 2: Max Double Unders

Stay relaxed in the shoulders and wrists to accumulate consistent reps. Breathe through the movement, find a steady rhythm, and avoid redlining. If double unders break down, reset quickly with minimal time loss rather than fighting long failed sets.

Station 3: Max Dual Dumbbell Box Step-Ups (50/35 lb to 20″ Box)

Focus on strong drive through the lead leg with a stable torso. Keep steps deliberate and consistent—quick but not sloppy.

Station 4: Max Bench Press (135/95 lb, 61/43kg)

Athletes should aim for quick sets with smooth tempo (2 seconds down, 1 second up). Avoid pressing to failure early—consider breaking the effort into manageable sets (e.g., sets of 5-10 with quick resets). Spotters should be ready at all times for safety.

Strategy (No Measure)

Station 5: Rest

This is a structured rest—athletes should use this time to regulate breathing, shake out arms and legs, and mentally reset for their next working station.

Pacing & Recovery Tips

The rower controls the workout’s flow; strong, consistent finishes help the entire team maximize working time.

Push hard on skill and strength stations but leave a little in the tank for the next rotation.

Focus on clean, fast transitions from station to station without wasting time moving around or adjusting equipment.

Communicate with teammates about transition timing if needed—especially on the rower handoff

Final Thoughts

“Neon Uprising” rewards teams that can move quickly, transition efficiently, and stay composed under fatigue. Strategy lies in consistency on the rower and maximizing work output without crashing early at the skill or strength stations. Efficient breathing and body control will keep athletes effective across all 20 minutes.

Wall Ball: MRx 14/10lb, 6/4kg, Rx 20/14lb, 9/6kg

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

“Chrono Shift” is a grindy, midline-heavy AMRAP that combines wall ball stamina, unilateral dumbbell cycling, and core endurance. The workout demands steady pacing, controlled breathing, and smart partitioning to avoid major drop-offs across the 10-minute window. The goal is to move with consistency, minimize transition time, and stay composed during the bigger wall ball and sit-up sets.

Goal: 3+ Rounds

Stimulus: Aerobic stamina, midline endurance, and muscular fatigue management

RPE : 8/10

Primary Objective: Maintain as close to 3:00 a round as possible

Secondary Objective : Pick-Up the pace in the final 2:00

Key focus areas:

Manage breathing and leg fatigue on wall balls early

Stay crisp and technical on the dumbbell to avoid grip and shoulder blow-up

Treat sit-ups as fast but controlled movement, not a full recovery
Movement Breakdown & Strategy

30 Wall Balls (20/14 lb, 9/6 kg)

Break into small, sustainable sets from the start if needed (15-15, 20-10, or even 12-10-8) depending on capacity.

Keep the ball close to the body on the catch and reset immediately after the throw.

Focus on smooth, rhythmic breathing—inhale on the squat descent, exhale on the throw.

Maintain a consistent squat depth and avoid resting excessively between reps.

10/10 Single Arm Dumbbell Hang Clean and Jerk (50/35 lb, 22.5/15 kg)

Perform 10 reps on one arm, then immediately switch to the other arm.

Use a powerful hip hinge to cycle the clean efficiently, not just muscling it up.

On the jerk, dip and drive fast to save the shoulder rather than pressing.

Control the dumbbell at the top and keep reps crisp to avoid no-reps or wasting energy.

If needed, quick shakeouts after 5-6 reps can prevent grip fatigue without major time loss.

Strategy (No Measure)

30 Abmat Sit-Ups

Move fast but maintain good mechanics—shoulders pass the hips at the top of each rep.

Use arms to generate a little momentum, but keep breathing controlled.

Stay steady through the 30 reps; don’t treat this as full recovery but keep it intentional and paced.

Pacing & Recovery Tips

Don’t sprint the first round—pace wall balls and dumbbell cycling to feel strong at minute 6-7.

Aim for consistent movement across rounds, avoiding big swings in pace.

Transition quickly between movements; minimize standing around after each station.

Breathe intentionally during the dumbbell cycling and sit-ups to keep heart rate manageable.

Final Thoughts

“Chrono Shift” is a classic aerobic grinder with a muscular fatigue twist. Success comes from controlling the first few minutes, keeping transitions tight, and mentally locking in through the middle rounds when the legs, shoulders, and midline start to fatigue. Smart wall ball breakups and clean dumbbell cycling will separate strong performances from inconsistent ones.

% is Based on 1RM Power Snatch

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

“Echoes of Earth” is a high-intensity barbell cycling and sprint conditioning workout that demands burpee explosiveness, technical barbell proficiency, and grip/shoulder stamina. Each set is a sprint with heavy lifting under fatigue, followed by structured rest. The goal is to hit consistent set times without major fall-off, managing both heart rate and barbell mechanics under pressure.

Goal: 4:00–5:30 per set

Stimulus : Sprint intensity, barbell stamina, technical under fatigue

RPE : 8.5–9/10

Focus : Smooth, fast burpees; precise, strong power snatches; smart breathing and barbell control

Key focus areas:

Push the pace on burpees without completely spiking heart rate

Hit efficient, strong power snatch reps—no missed lifts, no major form breakdown

Manage breathing between barbell sets for consistency
Movement Breakdown & Strategy

15 Bar Facing Burpees

Move fast, but stay smooth and consistent. Step-down and jump-up can save energy while maintaining pace. Focus on efficiency—no extra steps between reps. Breathe intentionally through the burpees to prevent spiking heart rate too early. Aim for a steady pace (~60-90 seconds or less) without redlining.

5 Power Snatch @ 70%

This is the “moderate” barbell portion, but under elevated heart rate from burpees.

Quick Singles is the approach today

4 Power Snatch @ 75%

Slightly heavier bar—lall singles for everyone.

Reset between each rep

Breathe once or twice at the top before setting up for the next lift

Focus on bar path efficiency and aggressive turnover.

Strategy (No Measure)

3 Power Snatch @ 80%

These should feel heavy but manageable. Keep Technique Sharp

Methodical singles with quick reset

Maintain bar close to the body through pull and catch

Expect these reps to be slower, but stay composed and aggressive through the lift.

Pacing & Recovery Tips

Control breathing from the last 5 burpees into your first power snatch setup.

Use the first 2-3 snatches at 70% to recover slightly and establish rhythm.

Focus on quick, efficient barbell cycling through singles as barbell load increases.

Maintain composure through the last 3 heavy reps—the last lift of each set is a mental push.

Each set is a sprint, but it’s also technical—don’t let poor mechanics cost you time in failed reps.

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

“Dune” is a gritty, aerobic stamina test that mixes monostructural machines with high-rep bodyweight gymnastics under fatigue. The structure of short work bouts with brief rests demands smart pacing, consistent transitions, and strategic recovery.

Goal: Maintain strong, sustainable efforts across both sets

Stimulus: Aerobic capacity, muscular endurance, and mental resilience

RPE: 8/10

Consistent output on machines, fast and efficient bodyweight movement on “Cindy”

Key focus areas:

Avoid blowing up early on the row and bike; keep effort manageable

Keep “Cindy” rounds fast but smooth, without burning out on push-ups

Transition quickly and purposefully between movements
Movement Breakdown & Strategy

3:00 Max Calorie Row

Pace should be around 80-85% effort. Focus on strong, efficient strokes with a controlled recovery. Keep the stroke rate in the 26-30 range and emphasize powerful leg drive rather than frantic pulling. Save a small sprint for the final 15-20 seconds of the interval.

3:00 AMRAP of “Cindy” (5 Pull-Ups + 10 Push-Ups + 15 Air Squats)

Move quickly through the rounds with minimal rest.

Pull-ups: Aim for unbroken sets or very quick breaks (no more than 2 sets).

Push-ups: Break early into 5-5 if needed to prevent muscular failure later.

Air squats: Stay smooth, upright, and consistent—this is your recovery within the cycle.

The goal is about 3-5+ rounds per 3:00 depending on ability.

Strategy (No Measure)

3:00 Max Calorie Echo Bike

Steady and strong effort. Hold a pace you can maintain without spiking heart rate too early (~80-85% effort).

Men: 55-65 RPM

Women: 48-58 RPM

Use full-body drive—push/pull with the arms and strong pedal strokes with the legs. Again, save a mild sprint for the final 20 seconds.

3:00 AMRAP of “Cindy”

Same strategy as the first AMRAP. Expect more fatigue in push-ups and pull-ups here, so adjust rep breaks slightly sooner if needed. Stay moving through the air squats to maintain round pace.

Pacing & Recovery Tips

Row and bike pacing should be sustainable—no full sprints until the final seconds.

In “Cindy,” manage push-up fatigue early—fast, consistent movement is better than crashing midway.

Shake out arms quickly between transitions but don’t waste time.

Use the :5-:10 breaks smartly—stand tall, slow breathing, prepare for the next station.

Aim to keep your second set close to your first set’s total reps.

Score: Total Working Time

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

“The Jedi Trials” is a repeatable, high-effort interval workout combining monostructural running, high-skill gymnastics, and moderate-to-heavy barbell cycling. Each round demands a strong balance between engine, grip endurance, and overhead stability. The goal is to maintain consistent splits across all four sets, without allowing any round to fall off significantly.

Goal : 3:30-4:00 / Round

Stimulus : Lactate threshold, aerobic power, and midline stamina

RPE : 8.5/10

Focus : Smooth running, smart grip management, aggressive but efficient shoulder-to-overhead reps

Primary Objective : Consistent pacing round to round

Secondary Objective : Push for unbroken or smartly broken sets on the shoulder-to-overhead without major rest
Movement Breakdown & Strategy

400m Run

Pace should be strong but controlled (~80-85% effort). Focus on quick foot turnover and relaxed breathing. You want to come off the run breathing hard but still able to immediately start toes-to-bar without a long break. Use the final 50m of the run to control breathing and prepare for the rig.

21 Toes-to-Bar

Grip and midline fatigue will accumulate over rounds. Break early and smart:

Advanced: 11-10 or 12-9

Intermediate: 8-7-6 or 7-7-7

Beginner: 5-5-5-6

Maintain a tight arch/hollow swing to stay efficient. Relax the grip when possible and avoid over-swinging. Modifications include knees-to-chest or hanging knee raises if needed.

Strategy (No Measure)

12 Shoulder to Overhead (155/105 lb, 70/48 kg)

Choose the most efficient style based on fatigue: Ideally Push Jerk is the movement we are moving towards today.

Advanced athletes should aim for unbroken sets.

If breaking is necessary, plan for 7-5 or 6-6 with a very short rest.

Focus on a strong dip and vertical drive through the bar. Keep elbows slightly in front of the dip to maintain bar path efficiency.

Pacing & Recovery Tips

Treat the first run as your baseline—find a pace you can replicate four times.

Break toes-to-bar proactively before you hit grip fatigue.

Breathe intentionally during the barbell work—recover while locking out overhead.

Aim to finish each working set in 4:00 or less to earn at least 1:00-1:30 rest before starting the next round.

Your score is the slowest round, so consistency is more important than one blazing fast set.
