Coaching Tips

Strategy

  • 1Pace yourself during the Deadlifts to avoid early fatigue; consider breaking the 21 reps into smaller sets (e.g., 10-11) if needed.
  • 2For the Overhead Squats, ensure you maintain a solid grip and core engagement to keep the bar stable overhead. Focus on depth and form, especially as the rounds progress.
  • 3Transition quickly between movements to keep your heart rate elevated, but avoid rushing and compromising form.
  • 4Stay mindful of your breathing patterns; exhale on exertion during both movements to maintain energy.
  • 5If you find fatigue setting in during the Overhead Squats, reduce the weight slightly or take micro-rests between reps.
