**Wrapping up the work week with our second long workout. And if you came on Thursday, you’ll be doing cleans a second day in a row. Woo hoo! Another chance to work on the movement. And if you did squat, maybe power today, or vice versa. The choice is up to you.
Grip might be an issue today, too. The weight for the deadlifts doesn’t look too taxing, but 21 reps each round followed by 15 pull ups, and you might be slowing down by round 3 or 4.
I also like these 5 round workouts vs 4 rounds. Why? Because there’s no place to rest, there’s no ‘middle ground’ or ‘half-way point’. Half-way is usually the start of round 5. You mentally get through it by chipping away at each round, at each movement.
And 30 min might be an aggressive time cap, but we’re going to stick with it. If you get capped, you get capped. 5 rounds, 30 min – you need to hold a pace of 6 min per round. Be aware of where you are at the end of round 1 and 2. Shorten your rest, change your strategy of how many reps you do before breaking.
