Goal: 8-12 rounds

Stimulus: Aerobic Capacity / Midline Endurance / Unilateral Stability

RPE: 7.5--8/10

Primary Objective: Consistent round times across all 20 minutes. This is a cyclical quick transition, midline and leg stamina workout. Athletes who manage the toes to bar grip and the lunge load intelligently will hold their pace deep into the back half.

Secondary Objective: Unbroken wall balls every round and smooth toes to bar sets throughout. The goal for a workout like this is to stay unbroken as long as possible while keeping transitions short to manage total rounds accumulated as the rep counts for each movement are so low.
