Tips & Strategy

  • •Pace the wall balls — break early rather than hitting failure
  • •Box jump-overs on the lighter rounds are your chance to move fast
  • •Med-ball box step-overs slow you down — find a consistent rhythm and don't rush
  • •The round of 66 wall balls is the crux — plan your break strategy in advance (e.g. 22-22-22 or 33-33)
  • •Use the descending rounds to push harder as the reps drop
