Athlete Notes:
We’re looking for unbroken sets here on today’s metcon. Push to hit all 20 toes to bar unbroken and then try to kick up sooner than you’d like to on the handstand walk. If you don’t have those yet we’ll substitute 5 wall walks each round. This workout is going to come down to muscle endurance in the grip and shoulders and we want to see how consistently you can stay on your hands after multiple rounds of the toes to bar.

Optional Additional Work Sessions
*Please choose to perform only those sessions that are most focused on your weaknesses, and only perform as much of the additional work as you can recover from successfully before your next training session.
