Strategy. This workout combines 3 smaller workouts back to back into one bigger chipper. Your pacing should be with the entire workout in mind vs just the current piece (it’s easy to go too hard early and die out later).
Break the toes-to-bars as needed in order to keep rests short before beginning your next set. Target for unbroken wall balls on each round.
Move right to the DB front rack lunges after you finish the first piece. The goal is for an unbroken 15m walk on the lunges each time. Approach the handstand push-ups based on your individual capacity. Shoulders will be a little fatigued at this point, however, if you feel confident, you can target for 1-2 sets each time.
The final couplet combines heavier deadlifts and burpee pull-ups. Try to keep the deadlift to minimal sets, but avoid hanging on to any set for too long forcing the need for a bigger break. The burpee pull-up is about finding a consistent, but fast cadence. You can utilise jump + pull (strict) or swing + kip (kipping) style pull-up. The strict variation tends to be more useful if your pull-up bar is relatively low while the kipping can work with both lower and higher bars (but is a little slower on a low bar than the strict). Either way, jump up from under the bar, not too far from front as this will make you swing more.
Pay attention also on how you come down from the bar (especially with strict, it’s easy to land in front of the bar, then having to step backwards for the next burpee). Aim to land back down right in front of the bar.
Toes-to-bars → Reduce reps (12 to 15 reps)
Handstand push-up → Reduce reps (8 to 10 reps)
Deadlift → 102.5/70kg
