Workouts now include a Workout Brief, outlining the intended PACE, FEEL, and some notes about the workout for you to be prepared. A description of the PACE and FEEL terms are below.
FEEL:
Cardio = Lungs are limiting factor
Reach = Heart Rate is limiting factor
Muscle = Muscle Fatigue is limiting factor
PACE:
Grind = 60-80% effort as skill, technique, and muscle fatigue allows. Think slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
Sustain = 70-80% effort
Gas = 80-90% effort
Full Send! = 90%-Max Effort

Hero Workout: “Badger” - For Time - 35 Minute Cap
3 Rounds
30 Squat Clean (95/65)
30 Pull Up
800m Run
In honor of Navy Chief Petty Officer Mark Carter, 27, of Virginia Beach, VA who was killed in Iraq in July 2019.
Workout Brief:
PACE: Grind
FEEL: Triple Threat
WORKOUT NOTES:
Each round is a substantial amount of volume that needs to be accounted for with chosen breaks and rest periods. The Squat Cleans and Pull Ups should both be held onto for 8-12 reps at a time in order to move efficiently through this workout. Each 800m run should take less than 5:00 to complete.
Tuesday, September 12th

3-3-2-2-1-1-1: Push Jerk
Taken from the rack, building in weight.

10 Box Jump
10 Shoulder to Overhead (115/75)
Decrease both movements by 1 rep each round.
Workout Brief:
PACE: Gas
FEEL: Reach
WORKOUT NOTES:
Today’s strength is all about pushing your Shoulder to Overhead to a heavy single. We are going from the rack today so use that to get to a weight you don't often get to touch. In the workout, the majority of the work will be completed in the first 3-4 rounds so go steady through them. Once you hit the round of six and/or five, start to pick up the intensity and finish strong.
Wednesday, September 13th
All Athletes will complete Strength and the Workout on Wednesday, September 13th.
Strength: 12 Minutes
5-3-1: Overhead Squat
Workout: For Time - 17 Minute Cap
3 Rounds
50 Crossover
7 Bar Muscle Up
5 Squat Snatch (155/105)
Workout Brief:
PACE: Gas
FEEL: Triple Threat
WORKOUT NOTES:
Today’s strength is about owning the overhead squat position and depth. The idea is to go to a heavy set of 5, 3 and 1, but always prioritize position and mechanics. It's better to spend more time at the bottom at lighter weight than to do too much too soon. In the workout, the objective is to maintain movement accuracy while being under fatigue.

Workout Brief:

WORKOUT NOTES:
Find a heavy deadlift single and then transition to a workout that is all about capacity. These rep ranges are probably just a bit more than you feel comfortable with going unbroken, but push yourself to hang on to numbers you don't typically go!
