*EMOM – 3 Burpees
| So, the way this works, at the top of every minute, no matter where you are in the WOD, you will do 3 burpees before going back to where you left off in the WOD. |
Scaling Options:
Goblet Squats -> 35/25

Every Minute On the Minute for 10 min – Handstand Pushups
Minutes 1-3:
(25# on both sides of an ab mat)
Minutes 4-6:
(45# on both sides of an ab mat)
Minutes 7-9:
(a 45# and 25# plate stacked on top of each other, on both sides of an ab mat)
Video courtesy of CoachRX. Notice the speed difference in the kip on deficit and regular HSPUs. You want even more control at the bottom of a deficit HSPU as balance is slightly off due to the deficit.
Scaling Options:
If you can get some HSPUs, go in this progression:
No plates on either side of ab mat
25# plates on each side of ab mat
45# plates on both sides of ab mat.
If no HSPU, 3 wall walks per minute.
Score is total C&J and Burpees completed (Max 57). Power Cleans are allowed.

Scaling Options:
WB – >14/12
Increase weight each set
| Second session of Push Press this cycle. Aim to go heavier than when you did the 5X5. Watch your finish position. Ribs should be tucked down. If your ribs are sticking out, you’re over-arching your back, which will lead to more issues down the road. |

Scaling Options:
DUs -> Du attempts, no SUs
Box Jumps -> Step ups
For Box Jumps, it is only considered RX if you jump (two feet leave the ground at the same time and land at the same time) on the box. If you step up, that is scaled. You can step down, but not up, to stay RX’d.
Rest 4 minutes Between Rounds
Don’t forget, each round, you only run at the beginning. From there out, it is AMRAP Thrusters and C2B pull ups!
Scaling Options:
Thruster weight -> as needed
C2B -> Chin above pull ups->Ring Rows
Increase weight each set
| Our second time hitting high hang squat cleans this cycle. Focus on getting the hips to fully open before you bend your arms |
* For 120 yd shuttle run: start at white line, run to 10 yd mark, run back to start, run to 20 yd mark, run back, run to 30 yd mark, run back.
Scaling Options:
DU -> DU attempts, no SUs.
Yes, you read it right. Doing Single Unders is no longer a scale for Double Unders. Scaling is meant to prepare an athlete to do an RX move down the road. SUs do not prepare us to do DUs. It preps you to do SUs.
Video courtesy of WOD Prep. Having trouble with the DU timing. Try this drill…
*Should you have to come off of either of these, stop counting toward your minute. Start counting once in position.
