    Skill (Load)

    EMOM for 8 minutes
    5 strict press
    OR
    straight set of strict handstand push-ups

    Choose between a set of 5 strict press or strict handstand push ups for today’s eight minute EMOM. Choose one weight for the strict press and work either from a rack or the floor. Feel free to partner up and share one barbell if you see someone planning for the same weight that you are. If you would rather get upside down today and are comfortable with strict handstand push-ups you can complete one unbroken set every minute. If you require more that one ab-mat for SHSPU’s you are probably better off choosing the strict press and working on strength there.

    Workout of the Day (Rounds + Reps)

    AMRAP in 15 minutes
    100 double unders
    15 power cleans

    Today’s couplet features large sets of double unders and power cleans. Make smart choices for yourself here so that neither movement stops you in your tracks. The double unders should take 1-2 minutes and the power cleans can be done as quick singles or small sets. If you don’t have double unders yet do your best to sprinkle in some good attempts mixed in with single unders.
