Every 6 minutes for 3 sets complete: 21-15-9 reps Echo-bike calories
Kettlebell goblet squats

♀ 24 kg
♂ 32 kg

Post your total time of all 3 sets combined to comments.

Goal: Get comfortable with the burn and increase your threshold as a result. Aim for 4-5 minutes to complete each set.

To be successful in this workout, aim for high intensity with some level of consistency in all three intervals. This will be difficult but a little bit of discipline goes a long way. High intensity is the goal but not maximal intensity. Keep some in the tank and give it everything you’ve got on the last one.

Equipment matters — the effort on the Assault or Echo bike will change the stimulus of this workout when compared to a bike erg.

More experienced athletes can work closer to their thresholds with less rest than beginner athletes. Beginner athletes should finish BEFORE advanced athletes without exceeding their capacities. This means a beginner athlete should have a LOWER RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) than an advanced athlete in the first intervals since beginners will not have their recovery capacities as high and trained as the more advanced athlete.

I tested this workout and found that it was possible to keep the pace up so long as I didn’t push the squats. I was using a bike erg and was faced with the realization that the 21 and 21 took almost half the time, but staying composed allowed me to hit the goal and finish as hard as I could on the last interval.

Jan Kozak, our newest addition to the team at Deka Comp, gave us this one. Kozak has a love for barbell cycling and here are some of his notes:

Pulling, cleaning, squatting — all the barbell fun in one good, clean rodeo. Athletes should attempt to go unbroken on the bar throughout, but it’s likely many will break the reps up late in the workout.

Fast in this triplet means efficient. You can’t rush this load if you struggle to have control over the basic elements of each movement: Bar path, upper-back engagement, and for the cleans, proper turnover mechanics. To set yourself up for success, move cleanly on the deadlifts (pun intended), be snappy when receiving the bar in the cleans, and keep your weight in your heels on the front squats.

Intermediate option:
7 rounds for time:
7 deadlifts
7 hang power cleans
7 front squats

♀ 75 lb
♂ 115 lb

Intermediate athletes should focus on moving through the hang power cleans as efficiently as possible.

Beginner option:
7 rounds for time:
7 deadlifts
7 hang power cleans
7 front squats

♀ 45 lb
♂ 65 lb

Beginners should focus on the setup position in the deadlift. Rather than aiming for unbroken reps, take strategic breaks to reset. A strategy could be to drop the bar on the sixth deadlift, then perform the last rep with the plan to go straight into the hang power cleans. Focus on a big jump and shrug in the hang power cleans — break around reps 4 or 5 if needed. Go for unbroken front squats if possible.

Scaling:
Nancy: Choose a load that allows you to complete most of the OHS unbroken. The challenge of this workout is to keep an aggressive pace on each element knowing that neither the lifting nor the running are so demanding on their own that you’ll need extended rests. Advanced athletes should resist the temptation to add load and instead commit to a run pace that’s just a little too hot.

Helen: Most athletes should aim to complete the swings and pull-ups unbroken. If you anticipate needing to break either movement more than one or two times, reduce the weight of the swings and consider completing ring rows instead of pull-ups. If you can complete Helen in less than 8 minutes, consider trying Helena from this year’s Games.

Scaling:
Experienced athletes can take one of two approaches on today’s workout. 1. Attempt to increase the load for every set, aiming for a PR on the later sets. Or, 2. Build to approximately 70-80% of your 1-rep-max and maintain consistent working sets. Focus on excellent technique and aim for a PR on the fourth or fifth set. Athletes with less experience should consider a coach’s guidance and drill the mechanics before adding weight.
