% Based on 1RM Power Clean
Score = Total Working Time
Objectives, Stimulus, Workout Strategy and Movement Modifications:
Goal: Row in 1:30 / Sets Sub 3:30
Score: Sum Total Interval Time
These are all meant to be done as mostly quick singles today. Keep the row at an RPE 8 pace so we create some aerobic and lower body fatigue, but can still lift confidently here. The singles at 90% will be demanding and require a high level of focus today. The last set is a burner to finish this, push the pace a bit more and plan to stay on top of the bar.
Stimulus: Aerobic fatigue into heavy barbell exposure with a high-output finisher / drop set style barbell work
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Execute technically sound singles at all loads, especially the 90% set
Secondary Objective: Maintain a consistent row pace without compromising barbell focus
