Goal: 18-20 min
Time Cap: 20min
Maintain steady, repeatable pacing across both rounds. Athletes should aim to complete the first round within 10-14 minutes, leaving enough energy for a strong second round without excessive fatigue.
Primary Objective: Consistent movement through all stations while minimizing unnecessary rest, particularly between box jump overs and step-overs.
Secondary Objective: Control breathing and power output on the machines to ensure legs stay responsive for the box movements.
Stimulus: Leg endurance and aerobic capacity, with a strong demand on midline stability and unilateral control during the step-overs.
RPE: 8/10
Challenging but sustainable. Fatigue will build across rounds, so early pacing is critical to avoid redlining in the second half.

Goal: Build to 80-85% on the Power Snatch
Primary Objective: Develop power and barbell proficiency under a structured EMOM while maintaining volume and control in the strict press.
Secondary Objective: Engage midline endurance with weighted sit-ups, reinforcing core strength to support overhead positions.
Stimulus: Olympic lifting skill and strength development with an emphasis on overhead stability, barbell cycling mechanics, and midline control.
RPE: 6-7/10—Barbell work should be heavy but repeatable, avoiding technical breakdown. The strict press will feel challenging in later rounds, but each set should be controlled.

Goal: Accumulate as many wall ball reps as possible while staying consistent with strict pull-ups. Athletes should aim for at least 80+ total wall balls across the workout.
Primary Objective: Sustain steady wall ball sets and minimize transition time between pull-ups and returning to the wall ball.
Secondary Objective: Unbroken Sets of Strict Pull-Ups
Stimulus: Midline and shoulder stamina under fatigue. Athletes must balance heart rate control with upper-body endurance.
RPE: 7.5/10—Moderately uncomfortable. The workout requires managing breathing and local muscular fatigue, especially after the later rounds of pull-ups.
