*Barbell should not exceed 75% of 1RM
This is meant to be more strength based and less conditioning focused. The goal here are consistent challenging loads and touches on skill movements to get good practice reps under light fatigue as well as lifting in a controlled setting with mixed work.

Goal: Complete each set in ≤1:30, allowing controlled rest before the next interval

Stimulus: Heavy cyclic strength under fatigue with high-skill pulling interference

Workout RPE: 7.5-8/10

Primary Objective: Maintain consistent completion times across all 10 sets

Secondary Objective: Execute rope climbs and barbell reps without technical degradation

Accessories (Checkmark)

For Quality:

10:00 EMOM

Minute 1 - :45 Dead Hang

Minute 2 - 6/6 Single Leg Kettlebell Deadlift

Add load to the dead hang if able. Use a moderate load on the single leg deadlifts. This will work on the grip and added volume for the posterior chain.
