WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Calorie Ski: This needs to be approached with moderate intensity at a controlled pace. Keep arms/triceps loose by rolling out during the ascent. Goal time should be to finish under 1:45 and should be scaled down to keep intensity. Substitute row is Ski is unavailable or if Handstand Push Ups are not your strong suit
.
GHD’s: High Volume on this so approach with caution. Goal is non-stop and make sure to whip the hands up on every rep to help launch the body up. Keep head neutral and breathe the motion.
Deficit Handstand Push Ups: Use plates and abmate for deficit and goal should to keep sets manageable (2-3) where avoiding failure is top priority. Remember to control the descent smoothly and explode into the press without hesitation.
3 Pegboards
10 Deadlifts (315/225)
100’ Handstand walk (double obstacle every 50’)
Target Time: 9-10 minutes
Time Cap: 13 minutes
STIMULUS and GOALS
Some good old fashion Grip, Rip and Walk (if that’s a thing). Shoulders will definitely take a toll on this one, some keep pace moderate and stay within your realm of skill.
WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Pegboard: Higher skilled athletes on this movement should aim to complete unbroken (touch and go). However, if grip and shoulders start to fatigue early then they should be adjusted to singles.
Deadlifts: Weight on deadlifts will be moderately heavy (75%+) and will feel heavier as rounds go on. The goal should be 1-2 sets and if breaking make sure to keep it short and sweet. Engage the lats and drive the feet through the floor with every rep.
Handstand: Like the pegboards this has to be adjusted to where your skill level is. Higher skilled should aim for 50ft+ unbroken sections while lower skilled should aim for 25ft unbroken sections. Again adjust as needed as the workout goes on your target distance may change depending on shoulder fatigue. Only obstacle use is available and proficient at it. After 2 or more failed attempts, take it out.
