Strategy
THE BIG TAKEAWAYS
1. The two most important barbell movements are the push press and thrusters. Break these up before your press out starts to struggle, as it’ll make it much easier to come back for another strong set. Consider the following options: 20, 12-8, 8-7-5, 5-5-5-5.
2. Work at a consistent pace on the burpee box jump overs that allows you to thrive on the barbell. We don’t want to move slowly, just steadily.
3. Make it a goal to get your hands right on the barbell for your first set after your last BBJO for your first set. Even if this is 5 reps, it’s a great mental win. We can practice this in our short practice round.
