Athletes Notes
Scoring
- We are ONLY scoring the number of pike push ups or kipping handstand push up reps we got each set.
Workout Strategy and Flow
- Be sure to move quickly on the Box Jump Over in the first minute because you will only get the rest you earn. We want to have some rest so we can control our breathing before heading into the minute of max reps.
- We have been working on our shoulder endurance this cycle, so if you have been following you should feel a bit more confident attacking this style of EMOM with the max reps being Pike Push Up OR Kipping Handstand Push Up.
- Today it is going to be important that you don’t reach your true “max” or failure point – especially in the first couple rounds. We want to take methodical and quick breaks that will allow us to quickly shake out the shoulders and bust out more reps. If you are breaking more than 2 or 3 times each minute, you likely need to scale the movement – see the substitution section below!

Athletes Notes
Scoring
- We are ONLY scoring the number of push press reps we got each set.
Workout Strategy and Flow
- We have been working on our shoulder endurance, specifically in more of a strict press style. Today we are going to put it to the test with push press. Remember Double Dumbbell Push Press uses the legs to dip and drive those dumbbells up overhead, allowing us to throw up more weight and be able to hold on for a bit longer.
- Today it is going to be important that you don’t reach your true “max” or failure point – especially in the first couple rounds. We want to take methodical and quick breaks that will allow us to quickly shake out the shoulders and bust out more reps. If you are setting the dumbbells down more than 2 times within the minute, they are too heavy.
- Be sure to move quickly on the Box Jump Over in the first minute because you will only get the rest you earn. We want to have some rest so we can control our breathing before heading into the minute of max reps.
