Score = Time

Goal: Sustain consistent, repeatable pacing across all 10 rounds. Each interval should be completed in approximately 1:45–2:15, leaving a short recovery window before the next set begins. Athletes should aim to keep total output steady across all rounds with minimal drop-off.

Stimulus: Aerobic power and shoulder endurance under controlled fatigue. The combination of cyclical machines and overhead stability work builds aerobic efficiency while challenging grip, posture, and midline control.

RPE: 7–8/10 — Maintain strong but sustainable pacing. Each round should feel challenging without reaching redline intensity.

Primary Objective: Develop aerobic repeatability through controlled intervals. Reinforce shoulder and midline endurance under dynamic loading.

Secondary Objective: Improve grip stamina and unilateral control through overhead carry work. Train efficient transitions between movements.
