Friday

– Let’s make it our goal to complete couplet #1 in ~6:00-9:00 and couplet #2 in ~9:00-12:00. That means each round in the first couplet should take 3:00 or less and each round in the second couplet should take 4:00 or less.

– The kipping hanstand push-ups in couplet #1 should take less than 2:00 each round. Reduce the reps or modify the movement if needed.

– The power snatches should take less than 1:00 in both couplets. The weight should be light and completed in no more than 2 sets on any round.

– The bar facing burpees in couplet #2 should take less than 2:00. Reduce the reps if needed.

– Score: Time. If you get time capped, add 1s to your time for every missed rep.

Strategy

– Aim to complete the handstand push-ups in 5 sets or less. This could be 6-5-4-3-3, 6-5-5-5, 7-7-7, 12-9, or 21 straight. We want to pick the strategy that has us resting the least about of time between sets.

– Aim to complete the snatches in 1-2 sets. 1 break here may be smart in order to save the shoulders a bit for the handstand push-ups.

– When we get to the 2nd couplet, we want to push the burpees a bit. It is going to be easy to lose a lot of time here.

– We can plan to catch our breath on the power snatches by slowing our cycle time down a bit here. We still want to aim for 1-2 sets here.
