Workout Overview

Stimulus

CompTrain! It’s Cole Sager again. Open Workout 24.2 was just released so I’m dropping back into yourinbox with some tips for strategy and approach to get the most out of your 24.2performance. To start, this workout is immediately separated into 2 pat

‍1) I am NOT proficient at double-unders: In this case, the workout will be built around optimizing every double-under set.Suggestion: Approach the row at a moderate pace and break the deadlifts into 3 sets soyou have fresh legs every time you come to the double-unders.

2) I AM proficient at double-unders: In this case, you will want to look at optimizing the workout at large by:Knowing and controlling your pace. This is a long effort! Find a sustainable pace and settle in. Feel in control.
Your splits should look similar across the workout, but the effort needed to maintain yourpace increases over the 20 minutes.

Strategy

There are a lot of transitions in this workout and you can easily waste 10-15 seconds per round.

Be intentional with your transitions.

Be deliberate with how you enter/exit the rower and how you pick up and set down the jump rope. Being efficient does not require high energy expenditure.

Being precise with your rope.

Work at a pace that allows you to be as efficient as possible through the double-unders.

An unbroken set of double-unders takes about 30 seconds.

A set with two trip-ups takes about 35-40 seconds. A set with five trip-ups could take at least 45-60 seconds.

Have a routine.
Pick up the rope and set it down in the same manner every round.
Dial this in before you start your workout.

Reminder

Last week we identified which category of athlete you fall into (Open, Quarter, orSemifinal Athlete) and how workouts should feel and be approached based upon those categories.
‍
How The Workout Should Feel ● Open Athlete | Challenging, but calculated ● Quarterfinals Athlete | Paced and in control ● Semifinal Athlete | All the above with an attack

How to Approach A Workout ● Open Athlete | Find the crux of the workout and build your workout around that. ● Quarterfinals Athlete | Know your pace and strategy ● Semifinal Athlete | Know your strength and where to attack

Please remember to read the Open workout description and movement standards in fullto make sure you're meeting all of the workout requirements and standards. Have fun, give your best to your workout, and cheer on your fellow athletes in the gym asthey do the same! Let’s have another great week and be proud of the efforts we havemade. See you in the CompTrain App!
