Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals

"Chrono Shift" is a grindy, midline-heavy AMRAP that combines wall ball stamina, unilateral dumbbell cycling, and core endurance. The workout demands steady pacing, controlled breathing, and smart partitioning to avoid major drop-offs across the 10-minute window. The goal is to move with consistency, minimize transition time, and stay composed during the bigger wall ball and sit-up sets.

Goal: 3+ Rounds

Stimulus: Aerobic stamina, midline endurance, and muscular fatigue management

RPE : 8/10

Primary Objective: Maintain as close to 3:00 a round as possible

Secondary Objective : Pick-Up the pace in the final 2:00

Key focus areas:

Manage breathing and leg fatigue on wall balls early

Stay crisp and technical on the dumbbell to avoid grip and shoulder blow-up

Treat sit-ups as fast but controlled movement, not a full recovery

"Echoes of Earth" is a high-intensity barbell cycling and sprint conditioning workout that demands burpee explosiveness, technical barbell proficiency, and grip/shoulder stamina. Each set is a sprint with heavy lifting under fatigue, followed by structured rest. The goal is to hit consistent set times without major fall-off, managing both heart rate and barbell mechanics under pressure.

Goal: 4:00–5:30 per set

Stimulus : Sprint intensity, barbell stamina, technical under fatigue

RPE : 8.5–9/10

Focus : Smooth, fast burpees; precise, strong power snatches; smart breathing and barbell control

Key focus areas:

Push the pace on burpees without completely spiking heart rate

Hit efficient, strong power snatch reps—no missed lifts, no major form breakdown.

Manage breathing between barbell sets for consistency

RPE: 8/10

Consistent output on machines, fast and efficient bodyweight movement on "Cindy"

Key focus areas:

Avoid blowing up early on the row and bike; keep effort manageable

Keep "Cindy" rounds fast but smooth, without burning out on push-ups

Transition quickly and purposefully between movements
