Notes from Jake

Strength
– Choose a weight where you have 2–3 good reps left in the tank and keep this weight for another 2 sets, for most this would be somewhere around 70–80%.
– Reset at the bottom of each rep (no touch-and-go), maintaining good bracing and posture.
– For the static split squats, control during the eccentric (lowering) phase — aim for a 2–3 second descent.
– Stay upright through the torso and do not rush through reps.

Workout
– Step-downs are okay on the box jumps.
– Wall balls should be performed unbroken. Use race weights.
– The goal is to maintain consistent effort on the machines after the buy-in movements, aiming for similar calorie numbers across all rounds.
– Pace the first couple rounds and then try to match or beat your score.
