5 Handstand Push-ups

SCORE: Rounds + Reps

PACE GOAL: 5-7 Rounds

FEEL:

  • Emotional Rollercoaster

  • The Cleans, HSPU and Lunges will take roughly the same amount of time as the row

  • Heart rate will increase on the strength movements, the goal is to level it out or slightly bring it down during the row

  • In the back half of this time frame, the row will be tough to hold onto a good pace and be more difficult to level out your hear rate

STRATEGY:

  • Singles on the heavyish Cleans

  • Unbroken on the HSPU

  • You can alternate rounds if you want on what hand is holding overhead, but I would switch at 5 from the beginning. This is a longer time frame and you want your shoulder fatigue to feel even with the HSPU

  • RPE of 6-7 which will feel like 7-8 at the end, pay attention to your watts or avg. 500m pace so you can try and maintain throughout

  • If you do not have enough rowers then here are options in order of what is best for the stimulus and what we have the rest of the week
