Workout Strategy and Movement Breakdown:

This is a pyramid-style workout with two big efforts on the rower bookending burpee and pull-up volume. Your pacing must be smart early — aggressive but controlled — to avoid redlining before the second round of burpees. Expect this to feel like a gut-check around the second set of burpees and into the final row.
