The Hammer Set

A simple bodyweight based interval executed after each run to build resilience and strength.

No machines. No noise.
No maxing.

Start as a team. Finish as a team.

The work is individual, but the standard is shared.

Count reps. Encourage the person next to you. Hold the line. If you finish early, help someone else finish.

No spotlight. Just the work.
