𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆:
In this workout a lot comes down to transitions and execution of Double Unders. What will decide the rowing pace is at what pace you can still move directly to the Deadlift and be able to do big sets/unbroken Double Unders.
For the Rowing it is important to note that you do not win too much by having a 2 sec faster pace. For example the difference between rowing at 2:00/500 m and 1:58/500 m is 1.1 second which is easily lost in a slower transition or a miss of the Double Unders. Where you can loose time on the rower is in the transition to it and the start. Make sure that you see it as a mini sprint to get from the Double Under to the Rower and only use three pulls to get up to speed.
While the deadlifts are light you might start to feel your back after a few rounds because of the Hip Hinge of the Rower as well. If starting to feel your back too much, see if you can use your legs more on the rower and possibly split up the deadlift in 6-4 with a short break in between.
–
If you in the workout realize that you have gone out to hard the place to rest is between 100-300 m on the rower. Always get the rower up to your target speed since a lot of time can be lost by sitting for too long at a lower pace
Mental Preparation:
Be extra ready for the 7-15 min to hurt a lot. This is where you need to be extra tough in the transitions and to get up to speed directly when getting to the rower.
Be prepared for this to hurt and decide what you are going to tell yourself during this time in order to handle it.
