Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a grind with one reason to stop: grip fatigue. Choose a dumbbell loading that allows you to hang for larger sets with no more than two short breaks per round — advanced athletes should aim to go unbroken. The lower-body redundancy makes this harder than it looks. Push the pace on the runs and aim to complete each one in 2:30 or faster.
