    On this “Quattro” it’s about building the engine today. And, honing our ability to immediately transition between movements. Given how these sets may be unbroken for many athletes (if not very close), we have the opportunity to dial it in, and train ourselves that we don’t need that extra breath between movements. Valuable seconds can be gained (or lost) here.

    On the wallballs, allow your arms to come to your shoulders or sides between repetitions. Avoid allowing the arms to hang out high in the air as you await the ball to return. Reason being, we need our shoulders for the following swings and burpees. Even a slight flick of the hands downwards can help preserve your arms. A little bit goes a long way here. This is something you may need to practice if you’ve never done it before.
    These repetitions do not need to be unbroken. A bigger focus is consistent sets. 10/8 is absolutely an option, with a measured rest between. If an unbroken set requires you to rest before starting, and after finishing (before you pick up the kettlebell), it may very well be faster for us to break the set into the example above (10/8) and focus on fast transitions.
    On the kettlebell swings, use the rhythm of the repetition to control your breathing. Breath out after the explosive extension of the hip as the kettlebell rises past the waist, and breathe in as the kettlebell is making it’s change of direction and start it’s way down. Train your breathing to match this pattern and don’t forget to relax your grip as the kettlebell is over your head.
    On the burpees, we are looking for “breathing reps”. That is, a split second pause after each repetition to take a composure breath. As the arms slowly come down from the overhead clap to conclude the previous repetitions, we take a large breath in before starting our next repetition. Imagine this pace to be your 100 burpees for time pace, which will keep you moving, but won’t overly tax your breathing before getting back on the rower. You should just keep moving on the burpees. I always tell myself I can never fail on a burpee. (It’s only 12) On that following round, give yourself 15 seconds to recover on the rower. Make an immediate transition to it and get the fan moving, but the pace does not matter here – focus on your breathing and pick it up a bit after the 15 seconds.
    If you want a challenge try this one on the Assault bike! It took me 12:19 on the Bike. Good luck.
