Workout stimulus is high intensity. You will have 5 separate scores and should aim for similar times for rounds or slightly faster with each round. Both movements should allow athletes to keep intensity across movements. You should be getting at least 60 seconds of rest per set. If not, modify the weight on bar or movement for HSPU to hit this time frame.

Be aggressive with the Power Cleans and, Stay steady on the wall and fight to keep relatively close times.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

Power Cleans: Weight should be around 45-55% of one rep max power clean OR a weight that you can do a semi-challenging set of 10 touch and go reps when fresh. Due to the demand placed on the upper body by HSPU, place extra emphasis on leg drive in the power clean to maximize efficiency, especially as shoulder fatigue sets in. When warming up to weight focus on a smooth bar cycle while keeping feet under the hips (not jumping out). Singles are not encouraged unless it keeps you moving, rather than resting. A good goal for those of you good at the power cleans should be to keep Power Cleans unbroken through all 3 sets.

Strict handstand Push-ups: You should be able to perform 5-10 reps at a time if they choose to Rx this workout. If you have difficulty keeping up with this volume, you can perform “X” amount of HSPUs and finish the remainder with a modified movement (ex. 10 strict HSPU + regular HSPU). Cue yourself to breathe out when kipping the HSPU to keep a tight core/midline. Modifications include HSPU on a box (knees or feet), pike pushups, or DB Shoulder Overhead (50’s/35’s). You should be finishing HSPU in 60-75 seconds or less in order to have adequate rest per round.

SCALING
