This was a lot of fun, really! About 4 rounds in I was still doing pretty well, then lost the kip for T2B which cut deeply into the rest after burpees and it was a chain reaction of awful from there.

I’m always a little curious after an EMOM how long doing the same amount of work would have taken if done straight through. After adding this one up… I think 24 minutes actually looks optimistic! 120 KB swings, 96 box jumps, 72 T2B, 48 burpees and 24 jumping lunges (per side). So the forced pacing is magic, apparently.
Nice one – felt like 24 worthy minutes! Thanks Katie for her help with band pull-throughs (I subbed out the kb swings), including basically anticipating every cue I got from Coach Chris, which included basically every problem spot I have with hips-to-wall, good mornings, and RDLs. Good diagnostic tool in that sense, I guess.

Dray – interesting analysis! Glad I didn’t know the added-up numbers beforehand, though…
I’ve been told not to do that ahead of time and normally I follow that advice!
If anyone ever needs coaching on band pull-throughs, let me know. Or step-ups, I have those down too! 🙂

The only other note I have for this workout is that Coach Chris told us the scaled verison included 6 burpees, not 3. 48 burpees is quite different from 24.
