Perform:

1x10 Cast Wall Walks

1x5 Pike Box Press HS

1x10 Straddle Box Press HS

12 cycles of XR Strap HS

Finish with 2x10 Wrist Pushups

notes:

1) Rest 1-2 minutes between Press HS sets.

2) If Cast Wall Walks are insufficiently challenging, you may perform PL Wall Walks instead. The key difference between these two variations is that the hands will remain behind the shoulders at all times during the descent and ascent of the PL Walks, whereas in the Cast Wall Walks the hands are directly under the shoulders.

3) Remember to adjust the height as necessary during the Box Press HS variations to ensure that the presses are sufficiently challenging.

4) If you cannot press to HS, then press to HeS.

5) If you are strong enough, replace the Box Press HS variations with Press HS from an L-sit on parallets or PBs.

6) If you exceptionally strong, perform the Press HS variations on the XR.

7) Rest 3-5 minutes after completing all of the Press HS work and then begin the XR Strap HS.

8 ) Each XR Strap HS cycle consists of 30 work followed by 45 seconds of rest. Go directly from one cycle to the next with no additional rest.

9) DO NOT come down during the 30 seconds of HS. If you do come down, that cycle does not count towards your total of 12 cycles.

10) To perform XR Strap HS drop your Xtreme Rings down to 6â€-8†from the ground. Now kick up into a handstand widely straddling your legs so that they wrap around the straps. Straighten and lock your arms as much as possible and begin timing your HS.

11) The XR Strap HS can be made much more physically demanding by placing your feet along the inside of the straps rather than wrapping your legs around the straps. The intensity can be further increased by ensuring that your elbows are completely locked and straight.

12) If XR Strap HSs are currently too demanding, perform Wall HS instead; although every effort should be made to complete the workout with XR Strap HS.

1x10cast wall walks

1x5 pike presses fromn floor

1x10straddle press from floor.

12 ring sets as prescribed.

Wod felt good still gaining improvement in control and minimizing rest. Was able to do all pike press continuos with little to no rest. .

WU: 1000m Row

Wrist Routine

FSP Warm up 6x1min each.

2x5 Cast Wall Walks- 5 sec rest

1x5 Pike Box Press HS

1x10 Straddle Box Press HS

13 cycles of XR Strap HS 30-55 secs of Work, 45 secs-1min of Rest- After the 3rd set I tried out doing them with my feet on the insides of the straps. Finished them out that way. Awesome.

2x10 Wrist Pushups- did these in the WR, didn't want to stress out my wrist too much I trained various HS/ HS

walking for nearly 2 hours on Wed including the WU.

Ended with 100m each of 100lb Towel Kettlebell Farmers walk, 100lb KB FW, Pinch grip FW of 4 workout mats, 3, 2, 1.

Quick question. What's the main muscle being used for Press HS'? I'm thinking it's mostly back muscle. I suck at these. And for some reason my straddle press is higher than my pike press. Maybe my back is knackered by then.

Hope you guys have a great next week of training. Probably won't be doing any strength training. I have a Combatives class to go to. Should be interesting to see what the Army deems fit as Combatives.
