_____________________
Every minute on the minute x 18 (6 each)
1) 15 Strokes for Max Cals on the C2 Erg
2) 20 Second Ring Support
3) 30 Second Hollow Hold
Play with damper setting and stroke rating on the erg to see what works best for you. Focus on a mature shoulder and elbow position on the rings. If you can’t hold for 20 seconds straight break it up into 2 sets of 10 seconds with a 5-10 second rest, or modify the support to feet elevated or to support on paralletes as needed.
