** SHREDDERS,
This week, our effort is to prime.
Keeping our lungs at the ready, we’ll sweat and move, while keeping skills fresh. The aim is to be chomping at the bit for Friday, Saturday or Sunday!

Looking for athletes to complete at 4-6 rounds in “”Detention””
This works out to a round every 2-3 minutes

STRATEGY
STRICT HANDSTAND PUSH-UPS
The big sticking point in today’s workout will likely be the strict handstand push-ups
With small reps numbers on all three movements, we’re back on the wall pretty quickly
This means there is not a ton of rest before we’re back on the strict handstand push-ups
Small sets are the most consistent option across the 12 minutes, as this is a movement that can fatigue quickly
Think 2-3 sets from the very beginning:
**2 Sets: **3-3 or 4-2
3 Sets: 2-2-2 or 3-2-1
DEADLIFTS & DOUBLE UNDERS
The size of the set on both these movements is dependent on how comfortable you are on the wall
If you’re confident with strict handstand push-ups, we can push for bigger sets and faster transitions
If you’re less confident on the wall, small sets are also the best option here, as they give you more rest before heading back to the strict handstand push-ups
Think 2-3 sets on the deadlifts and 1-2 sets on the rope
Deadlifts:
2 Sets: 5-4
3 Sets: 3-3-3
Double Unders:
2 Sets: 15-15 or 20-10
