Lower body-focused:

Conditioning : Pacing: For set-rep and AMRAP formats, find a sustainable pace that allows you to maintain quality form throughout the workout. Avoid starting too fast to prevent early fatigue. Prioritize proper technique over speed, especially in weighted and complex movements. Minimize downtime between exercises to maintain a high heart rate and maximize metabolic conditioning.
