Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout consists of pulling and pressing intervals. The goal is to finish each row in 1 minute or less and have around 30 seconds to perform the strict pressing movement. The one-to-one work-to-rest ratio should allow for just enough rest and an opportunity to push the pace on each row.
Scaling:
Reduce the distance on the row.
To reduce the complexity of the strict handstand push-ups, decrease the range of motion by placing one or two AbMats or mats underneath your head. For the strict ring dips, perform foot-assisted ring dips.
In case of injury or limitation, for the row, perform a 200-meter run or 500/700-meter Echo bike. For the strict handstand push-ups, perform pike push-ups or seated dumbbell shoulder presses. For the strict ring dips, perform bench or box dips or banded tricep press-downs.
