Goal: 3-5 rounds
Stimulus: Muscular stamina, aerobic threshold, barbell cycling under fatigue
RPE: 8.5/10
Focus: Sustainable barbell cycling, smart push-up pacing, efficient box jump rhythm
Key focus areas:
Move steadily through the barbell without redlining early
Manage push-up fatigue early to avoid failure in later rounds
Stay tight and explosive on box jumps, minimizing wasted movement
