Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals
Goal: Complete 4–6 rounds total; aim for ~2:30–3:30 per round.
Stimulus: Full-body stamina with moderate-intensity grind; manage grip and breathing under fatigue.
RPE: 7.5–8/10
Primary Objective: Smooth, efficient rope climbs with strong footwork and controlled descent.
Secondary Objective: Push sled with intent; keep squats unbroken and burpees steady to maintain round flow.
Pacing Strategy: Start controlled. Use BBJOs and squats to reset breathing. Save big pushes for later rounds when needed.
