GENERAL DESCRIPTION

·         The weight decreases, but the reps stay the same across the intervals

·         Goal is not to sprint necessarily, rather move with a purpose for all 5 minutes

·         Scoreboard will be sorted by the lowest number of rounds + reps first

LOADING/STIMULUS

·         First Barbell: 10+ Unbroken When Fresh

·         Second Barbell: 15+ Unbroken When Fresh

·         Third Barbell: 20+ Unbroken When Fresh

LOGISTICS

·         Stagger on opposite 5 minute intervals if short on machines

·         If short on space, make these lateral barbell burpees

·         If atheltes have to share barbells, make these regular burpees so one athlete isn't changing weight while the other is doing burpees over the bar

·         Complete 27/21 Calorie Schwinn Bike or Equal Calorie Row/Bike Erg

·         30 minutes of work with two heats, so staying on track with timing is important

THE WHY

5 minute intervals are hard. If we stayed at the same weight across the board, it is likely that athletes would see a drop off in work completed. We reduced the weight with each interval because it enables athletes to complete around the same amount of work each time, sometimes even more. A goal today can be to stay around the same rounds + reps in each of the three short intervals.
