Skill
AMRAP in 8 minutes:
4 strict toes to bar
4 kipping toes to bar
20 seconds of handstand practice
Scale the range of motion on both the strict and the kipping toes to bar so that you’re able to complete all 8 reps of the sequence without dropping down. Try not to let your body move past a hollow position as you lower down on the strict reps. Any handstand drills are fair game for the handstand practice, but wall walks or kick-ups against the wall are a great place to start if you’re new to the movement.

Choose a barbell weight at which you’re able to hit sets of 5-10 reps on the front squats; the power cleans will likely be less of a limiting factor. Challenge yourself on the push ups by choosing a slightly tougher scaling option than you would if you were on the movement for longer. Hit this at a steady pace! 40 seconds is a short work interval, but 20 seconds is an even shorter rest interval.
