If the athlete rows and lets the monitor roll to 101m, both athletes must do 1 burpee before the other athlete now rows to 200m. If the athletes row and let the monitor roll to 198m. Then both athletes must do 2 burpees before switching athletes again and continuing this sequence until 1000m. Time ends at 1000m + any rollover burpees that need to be done upon completion.

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals
% Strict Press
Goal: Consistent, Strong Reps with good speed on the barbell.
Stimulus: Absolute Strength
RPE: 8/10 Strength Test, but overall effect on the body is low due to weight that can be lifted
Key focus areas:
Root through the floor and think about pulling the barbell into the body then pressing on the rep in order to still gain an advantage in the stretch reflex.
Modifications:
We can move to a landmine press or dual dumbbell strict press as a modification for the strict press today.
Possibly add some reps and just keep loads moderate to work on form.
