Stimulus Goal:
Why Do This Workout? Improve your squat clean and squatting strength. Also work o your raw shoulder strength with the strict handstand push ups. Some workouts are good at testing your abilities. This one is great for developing your abilities.
Duration and Feel: 11 to 16 minutes to complete the 21 rounds. Try to stick around 30-40 seconds each round. Pick a consistent pace, and rest exactly as much as you need to in order to complete 2 very good strict handstand push ups.
Specific warm-up focus: Squat clean progression. Have everyone do a few piked push ups on the ground to prep shoulders for the strict HSPU.
Scaling Options: Lighter weight on BB or go to power cleans. If wrist is injured and can’t clean, have them do clean pulls. 2 clean pulls in workout to replace the squat clean. Deficit strict HSPU to Strict HSPU 1 abmat under head to 2 abmats, then to piked HSPU with feet on box, then with feet on ground, then hand release push ups.
