Workout description

2RFT: 50 Sit-Ups, 40 Pull-Ups, 30 Back Squats (135/95), 20 Handstand Push-Ups & 10 Front Squats

Warmup:

10

min

Equipment:

Barbell, Pull-Up Bar, Rack Recommended

Cooldown:

5

min

Modality:

Gymnastics, Weightlifting

Coaching notes

Commence with a warm-up focusing on core activation, upper body mobility, and leg strength. For sit-ups, maintain a consistent pace, ensuring full range of motion. If sit-ups are challenging, consider anchoring your feet or reducing the reps. In pull-ups, aim for a full range of motion. If you're unable to do 40 pull-ups, modify with assisted pull-ups using a band or perform jumping pull-ups. For back squats and front squats, use a weight that allows for good form throughout the set. If 135/95 lbs is too heavy, reduce the weight to maintain proper technique and safety. In handstand push-ups, focus on a strong push and controlled descent. If these are too challenging, modify with pike push-ups or regular push-ups to maintain the workout's stimulus. This workout is a comprehensive test of strength and endurance. Balance your effort across the exercises and rounds, and finish with a cooldown involving stretching, particularly focusing on the legs, back, and shoulders.
