Score = Time
Goal: 20-30 min
Time Cap: 35min
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.
