20 Box Jumps (24/20)
20 Front Squats (75/55)
20/15 Calorie Row
OPEN(RX+): HPS and FS (95/65)
• With a longer workout, let’s break up our weighted movements from the beginning how we see ourselves approaching them 10+ minutes into the workout
• Here are some options on how to partition the 20 reps:1 Set: 20, 2 Sets: 10-10 or 12-8, 3 Sets: 8-7-5, 4 Sets: 5-5-5-5
Box Jumps & Rowing
• The box jumps and row are a great opportunity to keep moving forward at a pace that allows you to thrive on the movements that follow
• Find a speed on these non-weighted movements that helps you work through bigger sets on the weighted movements

With these longer intervals, the main focus is to maintain our pacing. "75% aerobic pace" is something that feels like you could sustain well beyond the given interval. So for example, if rowing 1000m takes you 4 minutes at this pace, then I want you complete these intervals closer to something you could do for 10 minutes straight.
WHY not row the 1000m every 4:00? Because that is not sustainable over multiple intervals. Sure you maybe could complete 2-4, with each round requiring a bit more "effort" to complete. That "reaching" or extending effort is taking you out of the aerobic realm and into something different…which wont exactly help you get better aerobically.
Sometimes along the way, we forget that we love what we do. The choice of words there was intentional.
Suddenly things become a "job".
Things used to be fun.
It used to excite us.
Now… not so much.
And we ask ourselves that question… "What happened?"
When we are here, it’s a must to remind ourselves: love is a two-way street. And it takes work to love. Unlike the portrayal in the movies, there’s commitment with hard work, sweat and tears. But through that, if we can see it all the way, is the irreplaceable fulfillment. We must learn, or maybe better said re-learn, to love what we do.
Think back to what excited us the most when we started. What ignited the fire. What wakes us up in the morning. It’s there. Not lost to "work", and just in need of a rekindling.
