Goals: 12-18 Thrusters Per Set

Stimulus: Sprint Couplet, Midline Endurance, and Upper Body Density

RPE: 9/10

Primary Objective: Consistent thruster reps set to set, not a great round one followed by a declining series.

Secondary Objective: Unbroken toes-to-bar into a big opening set on the thrusters, then a small finishing set to close the minute.

Workout Strategy

"Business Time" rewards athletes who treat every set the same. The 10 toes-to-bar need to move with urgency but not recklessness: unbroken is the goal, and a quick 6/4 or 5/5 split is acceptable if it keeps cycle rate honest and the hands arrive at the barbell ready to work. The moment athletes step to the bar, the first thruster should happen immediately, no pause, no hesitation. A big opening set of 8-12 unbroken thrusters followed by a short finishing set to close the minute is the target structure; athletes who go all-out in round one and fall apart by round three are leaving reps on the table across the back half where rest is available between every set. For athletes who are efficient barbell cyclers, a quick-touch strategy of 5-7 reps at a time with a quick rest and right back into it, can increase total output if the drop and re-engage is truly immediate. Six sets with 1:00 rest is enough recovery to go hard every round; pick a number in that 12-18 window and chase it from set one to set six.

Goals: 3:00-3:30 per set

Stimulus: Grip / Mixed Endurance

RPE: 7/10

Primary Objective: Complete each set in 3:00, give or take 10-15 seconds, across all three rounds.

Secondary Objective: Unbroken farmers carry every set, no matter what.

Workout Strategy

"Think About It" is a grip-taxed interval piece that starts with a challenging, but quick farmers carry. The burpees are a challenging piece here and athletes need to stay relaxed, find a steady tempo, switch hands and direction cleanly at rep six, and still push a fast pace to maintain the time domain. The bike is where athletes earn the interval, and with 30-90 seconds remaining after the burpees, there is enough time to push hard if the carry and burpees were handled well. Compose yourself in the carry, stay steady on the burpees, and push on the bike to finish under that 3:30 mark for each interval.

Big Class Option:

Stagger athlete groups to manage bike, wall space, and kettlebell sharing. For two groups, start one group on the bike and one on the burpees. For three groups, start on a 1:20 delay so the farmers carry is cleared before the next group begins. Farmers carry should ideally move outdoors to free up floor space and reduce congestion at the kettlebell station.
