min

Coaching notes

Start with a warm-up that includes shoulder mobility exercises, light cleans with an empty barbell, and handstand push-up drills or progressions. Begin the workout with 9 Cleans at the prescribed weight (185lbs for males, 135lbs for females), focusing on a strong hip drive and a stable catch. Scale the weight down if necessary to maintain form. Transition to 21 Handstand Push-Ups, ensuring a controlled descent and powerful push. Scale to pike push-ups or wall walks if needed. Move to 7 Cleans, maintaining the same focus on technique and form. Follow with 15 Handstand Push-Ups, keeping consistent with the previous set. Finish with 5 Cleans and then 9 Handstand Push-Ups, maintaining intensity and form. After completing the workout, cool down with light cardio and stretching, particularly focusing on your shoulders, back, and legs. The goal is to balance the strength required for cleans with the skill and endurance needed for handstand push-ups, maintaining a steady pace and good form throughout the workout.
