One clean rep, then a full demo
The picture locks the shape. The clip is tempo. YouTube is a real set. Pause either if you need to.

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
