Today is all about producing extremely high crank torque. The higher the crank torque, the more fast-twitch fibres are being recruited. These muscle fibres rarely get trained, meaning there is room for improved performance when these fibres are targeted. But to achieve this high crank torque requires high power with very low rpm.

After each set of Pure Strength efforts, you will complete 10 minutes at a tempo pace. However, you will be prompted to complete three high rpm maximal sprints along the way.
