How to do it

Pick 3-4 single moves or two-move links near your limit. Rest 3-5 minutes between every attempt, until you feel fully fresh again. Move on to the next move when your power, accuracy or skin starts to fade, and stop the block as soon as your movement gets worse. About 6-8 attempts fit in 30 minutes. This is a short hard block, not a volume session.

Run it now

Who it's for

A short, hard block when you don't have time for a full limit session. Three or four moves, long rests, and you're done in about half an hour.

Common mistakes

  • Treating it as volume. Three or four moves, six to eight attempts. Stop when the quality drops.
  • Short rests. Three to five minutes between every attempt, until you feel fresh.
  • Doing it tired. It goes at the start, after a proper warm-up and any hangs.

How to progress

Harder moves, not more of them. If you're getting through lots of attempts, the rests are too short or the moves too easy.
