Pressing endurance (Bench Press)

Leg stamina & barbell cycling (Hang Squat Cleans)

Grip & pulling efficiency (Rope Climbs)

RPE: 7-8/10

Rest Expectation:

Target: ~45-60 sec rest per round

Advanced: ~75+ sec rest

If struggling: Reduce weight or modify rope climbs

Pacing Strategy:

Keep each round ~2:00-2:15 to allow 45+ sec of rest.

Efficient transitions—minimize unnecessary walking.

Stay in control on the rope—avoid sloppy footwork.
