Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals
“Chrono Shift” is a grindy, midline-heavy AMRAP that combines wall ball stamina, unilateral dumbbell cycling, and core endurance. The workout demands steady pacing, controlled breathing, and smart partitioning to avoid major drop-offs across the 10-minute window. The goal is to move with consistency, minimize transition time, and stay composed during the bigger wall ball and sit-up sets.
Goal: 3+ Rounds
Stimulus: Aerobic stamina, midline endurance, and muscular fatigue management
RPE : 8/10
Primary Objective: Maintain as close to 3:00 a round as possible
Secondary Objective : Pick-Up the pace in the final 2:00
Key focus areas:
Manage breathing and leg fatigue on wall balls early
Stay crisp and technical on the dumbbell to avoid grip and shoulder blow-up
Treat sit-ups as fast but controlled movement, not a full recovery
