Secondary Objective: Maintain an even, controlled run pace , ensuring neither partner redlines before the barbell and gymnastics work.

)

--

The goal here is to be able to hit repeatable reps at higher percentage weight. The key focus here will be dialing in the time between reps in order to hit quality reps and catch in a quality front rack position. The focus should be consistency of the feet and fast elbows punching under the bar.

"Little E" (AMRAP - Reps)

8:00 AMRAP

Max Wall Balls

Starting at 0:00 and EMOM, Complete 6/5 Strict Pull-Ups

Wall Ball: (Rx 20/14, S 16/12), 10/9ft
--

Goal: Accumulate as many wall ball reps as possible while staying consistent with strict pull-ups. Athletes should aim for at least 80+ total wall balls across the workout.

Primary Objective: Sustain steady wall ball sets and minimize transition time between pull-ups and returning to the wall ball.

Secondary Objective: Unbroken Sets of Strict Pull-Ups

Stimulus: Midline and shoulder stamina under fatigue. Athletes must balance heart rate control with upper-body endurance.

RPE: 7.5/10—Moderately uncomfortable. The workout requires managing breathing and local muscular fatigue, especially after the later rounds of pull-ups.

Secondary Objective: Engage midline endurance with weighted sit-ups, reinforcing core strength to support overhead positions.

Stimulus: Olympic lifting skill and strength development with an emphasis on overhead stability, barbell cycling mechanics, and midline control.

--

Goal: 20-30 min

Time Cap: 35min

Maintain steady, repeatable pacing across both rounds. Athletes should aim to complete the first round within 10-14 minutes, leaving enough energy for a strong second round without excessive fatigue.

Primary Objective: Consistent movement through all stations while minimizing unnecessary rest, particularly between box jump overs and step-overs.

Secondary Objective: Control breathing and power output on the machines to ensure legs stay responsive for the box movements.

Stimulus: Leg endurance and aerobic capacity, with a strong demand on midline stability and unilateral control during the step-overs.

RPE : 8/10

Challenging but sustainable. Fatigue will build across rounds, so early pacing is critical to avoid redlining in the second half.
