Your calculated percentages

– Superset means that we’ll complete our back squats, quickly change out weights (if needed), and then complete our front squats. There is little to no rest between the front squats and back squats but we’ll rest for 2:00 before completing the next super set.

– All percentages based on 5RM Back Squat

*Both front and back squat barbells.

Set 1

3 Back Squats @ 79%

3 Front Squats @ 72%

Metcon (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)

“Hangry”

AMRAP 20:

15 Toes to Bar

12/10 Calorie Assault Bike

9 Hang Power Snatches 95 / 65 lb

6 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
Stimulus

– Conditioning Category: Pacer

– The toes to bar reps should be a number you can complete in 3 sets or less each round. This station should take less than 1:30.

– The bike should be completed in under 1:30

– The barbell should be a weight that will allow you to complete the hang snatches in 1-2 sets throughout. This station should take under 1:00.

– The handstand push-ups should be completed in no more than 2 sets each round. This station should take under 1:00.

– Athletes can expect to complete somewhere between 4-5 rounds.

– Score: Rounds + Reps

Strategy

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. We need to plan this workout around our proficiency with the handstand push-ups and toes to bar. Think about what these movements will feel like 15 minutes in, and break the reps in round one to reflect what that will look like.

2. Oddly enough, we can use the Assault bike to recover to the point where we can get off and immediately pick up the barbell for our hang snatches.

3. Use more legs than arms on the Assault bike to allow our shoulders to stay fresh.
