Coaching Tips
Strategy
- 1Break the reps into smaller sets (e.g., 3-4 reps at a time) to maintain form and prevent fatigue.
- 2Focus on your breathing; exhale on effort (lifting) and inhale as you recover between reps.
- 3Take advantage of transitions between movements—set the bar down properly and reset position before starting the next movement.
- 4Maintain an even pace throughout the rounds; avoid going too fast in the first few rounds to save energy.
- 5Use the rest between total sets wisely; shake out arms and legs to keep muscles engaged without fatiguing.
Safety Considerations
Technical Focus
Watch for back rounding during overhead movements; focus on keeping the core tight.
