    Scale this workout by the amount of weight you can Push Jerk repeatedly for a set of 6. If you end up doing single jerks you’ve gone too heavy!

    Strength

    1RM Thruster

    Last chance for an October PR! Work from the floor to determine your 1RM thruster.  You can squat clean the bar or power clean it and move into the thruster from there. 

    If thrusters are a new movement for you make sure that you are moving under control during the front squat with your elbows up and your knees tracking over your feet.   Use this time to get familiar with the movement and work up to a moderately heavy weight.

    Skill

    Use 10 minutes to attempt a PR at a Handstand Walk Ladder

    Move 2 steps, then 4, 6, 8, 10 and so on. Each step of the ladder must be unbroken. If you fail a round start back over at 2 steps.  

    First comes the handstand! If you are new to standing upside down on your hands, spend your time working freestanding handstands or handstands against the wall.
