There comes a point with IWTs when the weight lifting or the loaded movements cease to influence the aerobic work as well as it does in the shorter IWTs. I find this happens around the 4min mark, and so I make a concession in order to keep the focus on the ability to recover as opposed to having just a really long hard interval after a few reps of weight lifting. I call these IWT V3. The point is mix and match the hard aerobic efforts and the weightlifting so that the combination itself is difficult. It will burn the lungs if these are done correctly. It will also be hard to manage the pace as I have modified each AMRAP to have an alternate movement each round. Enjoy

Flow:
