Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's descending workout has weighted walking lunges and strict deficit handstand push-ups. The goal is to complete the workout in 10 to 15 minutes.
Choose a dumbbell load that requires minimal rest breaks; aim for at least 50-foot intervals with no more than about 10 seconds of rest when you break. Hold the dumbbell any way you choose, provided it supports quality movement.
The strict deficit handstand push-up will test raw upper-body inverted pressing. Expect to need several sets to complete each round. As a guide, if you can do sets of 3 for 20-15-10-5 reps with no more than 10 seconds of rest between sets, attempt this workout Rx'd. Today, we'll find the most challenging gymnastic scale for the handstand push-up before scaling to dumbbell overhead presses. Let sets and hard-capped rest times guide your chosen volume and movement variation.
