All Systems GO

Today was my first attempt at the new training paradigm involving USRPT.  Ultra short race paced training is a modern, science based, training system using a predetermined 'race pace' that is held through the set.  The optimal rest/break/interval is +/- 20 seconds.  A predetermined number of repetitions is completed at the 'race pace'.  When failure to meet the time happens, the next repetition is bypassed and then the set continues.  The set is finished when 2 reps in a row are failed.

I did a mixed workout today.  I mixed traditional training(TT) with USRPT.  This was my first real attempt.
