Athlete Notes:
Pull, jump, go upside down and sprint real fast. The goal here is to have about 60 seconds (maybe more) to walk on your hands. As you fatigue that time will get less and less, but try to keep each round as consistent as possible. The dumbbell weight should be something that you could do at least 4-5 reps in a row without stopping, or move consistently for all 20 reps even if there’s a slight pause on the ground. If you’re taking a full reset every couple reps then you’re going to burn too much into your handstand walk time. After that you’ll go straight to the jump rope to burn your shoulders. Hopefully you have a drag or heavy rope because that’ll be a game changer for this workout. After that, get upside down and remember you only have to go 10 feet at a time and in 2020 we saw Medeiros’ strategy of kickup walk fast, drop, repeat, work to his advantage. Play around with that strategy today.
