• Coaching Brief & Class Overview

Today’s session is a longer aerobic grind designed to test pacing, gymnastics stamina, and grip endurance. "The Transporter" combines running, rope climbs, and burpee pull-ups in an ascending rep scheme, challenging athletes to stay smooth and efficient while managing fatigue.

Coaching Notes

Running: Athletes should pace aggressively without redlining—banking time here will allow for better execution on rope climbs and burpee pull-ups.

Rope Climbs: Focus on efficient foot locks to conserve grip strength and descend quickly to minimize time under tension.

Burpee Pull-Ups: Strategic positioning under the bar will make the movement more efficient—jump directly into the pull-up to minimize wasted movement.

Mindset Tip: This workout is about steady, repeatable effort. Consistency is key—avoid burnout early to leave gas in the tank for the final max burpee pull-ups.
