"Omega Protocol" is a gritty, conditioning-focused workout blending full-body dumbbell work, pulling endurance, posterior chain stamina, and running efficiency. This is a steady grind that rewards consistent pacing, smart grip management, and breathing control over all five rounds.
Goal: 15:00–20:00
Time Cap: 22:00
Primary Objective : Have your first round be your slowest round. This will set you up for success as you will naturally pace the rest of the workout better.
Secondary Objective: Unbroken Sets across all movements
Stimulus: Muscular endurance, aerobic power, grip and shoulder stamina
RPE: 8/10
Focus: Smooth, controlled effort across all rounds with intentional breaks before fatigue sets in.
Key focus areas:
Manage grip fatigue early (devil’s press, pull-ups, kettlebell swings all demand grip and shoulder stamina)
Breathe efficiently during dumbbell and kettlebell work to stay aerobic
Use the run as controlled active recovery to reset between rounds

"Neon Uprising" is a team-based, rotating station workout that combines aerobic power, skill work, lower body stamina, and upper body strength. Athletes rotate stations based on the completion of the rowing calories, creating a blend of pacing, max-effort scoring, and active recovery depending on the movement.
Goal : Maximize reps (or calories) at each working station
Stimulus: Aerobic power, stamina under fatigue, muscular endurance
RPE: 7.5–8.5/10
Focus: Consistent effort at each station, quick transitions, and smooth coordination across the team
Key focus areas:
Manage effort on the row—strong but sustainable to give teammates consistent work/rest cycles
Stay composed on high-skill and high-rep stations (Double Unders, Box Step-Ups)
Control breathing and tension during strength stations (Bench Press)

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
