Post your rounds and reps to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a classic benchmark. Cindy remains an excellent test of gymnastics stamina and cardiorespiratory endurance. There are two ways to get a PR today. The first is to perform the same variation you did the last time and complete more reps and rounds. The second is to try a more difficult variation. To hit the stimulus, plan to complete a round in less than 90 seconds for the majority of the workout. Reduce volume to as few as 3 pull-ups, 6 push-ups, and 9 air squats as needed. Beginner athletes will work on a 2-minute clock for 10 rounds, using any remaining time in the interval to recover before the next. Advanced athletes with the capacity for completing 20+ rounds of this workout should consider wearing a vest. Be sure to record today's score and scaling options used to reference for retests and similar workouts throughout the year.
Intermediate option: Same as Rx’d.
Beginner option / Every 2 minutes for 20 minutes, complete:
3 strict banded pull-ups
6 hand-elevated push-ups
9 air squats
