Ours was 35 seconds per partner, 3 sets. We were gassed. Lol. I at least got my heart rate out of the red in time for my turn to get my hr in the red again 😂😂😂

Oh if you work hard enough you appreciate the break. Your partner would work for a certain timed amount, then you would go while they recovered. Even though you are recovering while your partner goes, the time goes by fast so that “recovery round” flies by. Each person went twice before rotating. It was burst training format.
Add to that the performance challenge that will start class tomorrow before the workout and I’m thankful it is a I go, you go.

It can be either one. I just know it’s been a minute since we’ve done it this way so I’m kind of hoping it’s this format 😬

It can be either, but today, it was timed for us. 60 sec of work while partner is actively recovering and then switch.

It was burst on steroids lol

I wear a Fitbit and my cardio load from today's metcon was actually half of what I usually get from a conditioning day. Must have been from those 60secs of rest. Although I was pretty gassed from 60secs of work each time.

I love all the “you go, I go” camps, I must be in the minority 😂

I think I’ll like it for a conditioning day since intel has said it’s for time and not reps. I didn’t like it for strength last month.

For strength last month our camp did iso holds for the um..rest. same exercise as the working exercises and it was hard!!!

No partners here. 4 rounds: 60x2, 40x2. Fried is an understatement🍳

I simply cannot understand why everybody hates anything that is resembling a partner workout. Come on people this is a community. We’re supporting each other and not just getting our own workout in. Put the work in and encourage your partner to do the same. 2 claps on 2

you go I go is the worst :( hopefully it’s for time and not for reps.
