Dumbbell Assisted Straddle Stretch: 1 Minute
• Let’s focus on a strong leg drive today by "standing up" as we press ourselves away with each stroke
• We can think about taking 10 pounds out of our seat and putting it into our feet
• We won’t actually stand up, as the seat would slide away, but we will take some pressure off the seat
• Instead of relaxing into the machine, this shift forward distributes more bodyweight into the powerful leg muscles
• More power equals faster calories

30 Seconds Moderate Row
ALTERNATING DB SNATCHES – Bringing the Weight Down
•Our focus on the weighted movements will be bringing the weight back down
• There are a few options here:
• Stop at the shoulder, then to the floor (Slower, But Balanced)
• Move straight from overhead to the floor (Faster, But Harder On Balance)
• With both of these options, look to get the front bell behind the big toe to maintain good balance and positioning
Movement Prep
With Lighter Dumbbell:
6 Dumbbell Snatches (Stop at Shoulder)
6 Dumbbell Snatches (Right to Ground)
THRUSTERS – Bringing the Weight Down
•With the thruster, there are two things we can think about:
• Point the elbows towards the front of the room to return to a good front rack position
• Wait until the bar hits the body before you squat
• Both of these, just like in the snatches, will lead to better balance and positioning

OPEN (RX+): DB (50/35) Thruster weight goes up each round (75/55 – 95/65 – 115/85)
• CONDITIONING CATEGORY: SUSTAIN
• Even though we are hitting shorter intervals, the rest is 1:1, so intensity will be a bit higher…however, let’s take a broad approach to this and treat it more like a 20 min AMRAP versus 4:00 of work.
ALTERNATING DB SNATCHES
• Alternate arms each rep
• Choose a light-moderate weight that allow you to complete each round in 1-2 sets
THRUSTERS
• Choose a light weight that allows you to complete each round in 1-2 sets
ROW
• While we start the row fresh at the beginning of each round, it can actually be less important than the weighted movements, since we’re always moving on the machine
• Look to move at a strong, but controlled pace on the erg that allows you to stay moving through the snatches and the thrusters

How does an echo start?
With a tiny sound. One that might not even be noticeable. But shortly thereafter, that soft sound brings a soft echo. Still, maybe nothing to turn heads. Yet, the echo then builds… doubling, tripling, several times over. Before we know it, it’s impossible to ignore.
It’s called the "changing of the echos", and it starts with a single tiny noise.
The misnomer is that a big life shift requires the "loudness" to turn heads at the start. Not true. What is important here isn’t the decibel, or the magnitude… but the intention.
Disciplined intention is everything. And we just need to start.
