Primary: Manage the plank hold as the working currency of this workout. The partner in plank is not resting — they are working. Smart breaks and timed switches protect both athletes from hitting failure on the plank will keep the work rate high throughout.
Secondary: Move efficiently through all movements and keep consistent sets on each movement throughout.
Strategy
"Monopoly" is a high volume partner chipper where the plank hold is the defining feature. Every rep counts, every second in plank counts, and every transition matters. This is not a workout where one partner dominates the reps while the other holds on as both athletes need to contribute evenly from start to finish or the plank will break down well before the final 400m. 400m Run (Opening and Closing): Both partners run together with one carrying the kettlebell. Switch the carry whenever needed, but keep moving. The opening run is a strong effort, but controlled and together. The closing run is a more of a gut check where athletes will need to push finish strong. Deficit Push-Ups: 50 reps with a partner in plank is a significant shoulder and chest ask right out of the gate. Small sets of 5-8 with clean mechanics are smarter than grinding through 15-20 and failing. The deficit demands full range of motion with the standard being chest to the floor and below the plates on every rep. Kettlebell Snatches: 50 alt reps here with 25 for each partner is a relatively moderate volume, but should still be considered with the amount of interference here. Quick consistent sets of 5-10 per athlete. Focus on a strong hip snap, a close turnover, and a locked out overhead finish. Toes to Bar: 50 reps with one partner in plank. Kip efficiently and breathe at the top. Sets of 5-8 keep the rhythm moving. Push-Ups (100) / American Kettlebell Swings (100) / Abmat Sit-Ups (100): Even though these movements are more simple in nature, this is the heart of the workout and where most teams will slow down. The key is consistent set sizes and short transitions. Partners should agree on rep counts before the clock starts and stick to the plan. Sit-ups are the recovery movement of the three — use them to breathe and reset before the final run.
