Water breaks

I'm starting to notice that my athletes tend to take too many water breaks through out the course of a session. Now being hydrated is very important to overall health and performance, but seriously nobody is going to die of dehydration during a 20 minute workout! Basically if your ass deep into a session of burpees, swings and pull-ups, putting some water into your stomach to slosh around isn't going to help much. If you are tired its fine to lean and breathe and catch your breathe but hydrate through out the day and after you smash a workout drink all the water your stomach can handle.

Training:
7 swings
7 pull-ups
7 burpees
Max rounds in 20 minutes


F.T.G training:
150 push-ups, with a twist.
Start doing the push-ups but every time the knees or any other portion of the body, except the feet and hands, touch the ground, get up and run 400 meters. Go until all the push-ups are complete running as necessary.

For time

What Favre did:
Ryan
7 muscle-ups
21 burpees, jump and touch an object 12 inches above your reach
5 rounds for time


I respect them as athletes!
