Left is the start. Right is the finish. Match the shape, then add load.

How to handle weight

Intervals should leave you able to hit the same split on the last round. If round one is a sprint you cannot repeat, you started too hot. Bike / rower: watch watts or pace, not pride.

Usual programming

30s on / 30s off × 6–10.

Caution

Skill before chaos. Land quietly on jumps. On the bag, hands up before power. Burpees: step back if the low back complains. Stop a round if you go dizzy — sit, do not keep swinging.

Setup

Athletic stance, ropes in hands, create a pattern you can hold.

Cues

  • Hips involved
  • Don’t shrug the whole time
  • Breathe in rhythm

Common mistakes

  • Standing still and only flapping wrists
  • Going to form collapse
  • No standard

Home swap

Band slams or bag punches
