Coaching Tips
Strategy
- 1Pace yourself on the run; it's crucial to maintain energy for the heavier lifts that follow.
- 2For the Thrusters, consider breaking them into sets of 5 to keep your form under control as fatigue sets in.
- 3On the Cleans, focus on keeping the bar close to your body and using your hips effectively for power.
- 4Aim for unbroken sets on Pull-Ups and Ring Dips if possible; these movements can heavily tax upper body endurance.
- 5Utilize the Kettlebell Swings to actively recover your grip and legs before attacking the Deadlifts ahead of the run.
