Objectives, Stimulus, Workout Strategy and Movement Modifications:
Goal: Each station completed in :55–1:15 | Consistent splits across all 8 sets
RPE: 8.5–9/10
Stimulus: Aerobic Power / Lactate Threshold
Primary Objective: Hold consistent interval times from round 1 through round 8. This workout rewards pacing discipline, not an early sprint.
Secondary Objective: Manage the transition inside each station. The row-to-thruster and burpee-to-deadlift transitions are where time is lost. Keep movement sharp and deliberate.
