AMRAP 10 minutes
25’ Dumbbell Front Rack Lunge (2×50/35)
5 Strict Handstand Push ups
TARGET SCORE
Every 5’ of lunges = 1 rep
Target Rounds each set: 10+
Minimum Rounds before scaling: 7
STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY. Ten minutes is a solid amount of time. Don’t go out too fast, but aim to maintain consistent pacing.
How it should Feel: Muscular endurance. We will be building some capacity in the strict handstand push up. Expect to feel extra upper body fatigue from the front rack lunges.
WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Double Kettlebell front rack lunge: aim to keep each 25’ section unbroken even if you need to rest a little bit extra before you pick up the kettlebells. Keep the arms relaxed as best you can to save them for the strict handstand push ups.
Strict handstand push ups: aim to keep these in 1-2 sets throughout. The fatigue will add up by the end, so use the earlier rounds to maintain a fast rep cycle rate.
SCALING
The SCALING aim is for consistent movement.
Scaling option to finish near the target score:
AMRAP 10 minutes
25’ Dumbbell Front Rack Lunge (2×40/25)
5 Handstand Push ups
