Coach's Notes.
As with yesterday’s mini-metcon, aim for no rest with your pacing. Maintaining intensity over longer duration will be more effective at producing the adaptation we desire than burning out in the first three minutes. If it helps, think of the three metabolic pathways. This is a glycolitic workout, not phosphogenic. Pace yourself accordingly.
Warm up and mobilize well for this one. Mobilize movements, not muscles. That means before you squat with dumbbells, you need to squat. Before you get on the rings, you want to do some shoulder mobility, like the “kitchen sink” stretch (DEMO HERE). Before you hop on the bar for TTB, try touching your toes a few times.
