Double Dumbbell Deadlifts, 50/35lbsHandstand Push ups250m Row after each roundWODprep Strategy Top Tips:

Warm-up (5-7 minutes): Start off with a row to break a sweat and dial in your form. From there, hit some wrist circles and shoulder cars to get ready for some handstand pushups

Stimulus:  Handstand push up density

Strategy: This workout is all about sustained effort with no burnout. The deadlifts will fatigue your grip and posterior chain, so be mindful of maintaining a neutral spine and keeping tension in your hamstrings. The handstand push-ups should also be broke early to avoid redlining in the shoulders.  The row is your chance to shake out the fatigue and keep the heart rate under control.

  • Handstand Push-ups- Focus on staying tight as you kick up against the wall and make sure you are in a good pressing position. Don’t waste too much time upside down and under tension. Make sure you drive your body toward the wall in a tight position.
