THURSDAY – CONDITIONING + STRENGTH (NEW FORMAT)

This is a new setup we’re adding to the cycle.
Until now, we always did strength and conditioning on separate days. Not anymore. This session mixes both — and it’s going to challenge you.

How it works:

  • Every 2 minutes, you complete a couplet:
     1 conditioning movement (bike or run for calories)
     1 strength movement (barbell or dumbbell lift)

  • Rest with whatever time is left in the 2 minutes

  • Repeat for several rounds

Intensity options:

  • Calories: 10 / 12 / 15 (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced)

  • Reps: 10 / 12 / 15 (Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced)

Your goal:
Work hard during the effort, rest during the leftover time. Don’t coast. Choose a level that makes you push.

Sample Couplets:

  1. Bike + Heavy DB or BB Hang Clean & Jerk
  2. Run + Heavy Sandbags
  3. Bike + KB Thruster
  4. Run + Push Press
  5. Bike + Heavy Sandbag
  6. Run + Single Arm DB Forward Lunge

Important:
These are not Hyrox-paced efforts. You need to go heavy on the strength part. Choose weights that challenge you, especially under fatigue.
