Kickstarter (AMRAP – Rounds and Reps)
“Kickstarter”
AMRAP 20:
40/30 Calorie or Row 400m run or bike 25/20 cals
30 Single Arm Dumbbell Hang Clean and Jerks
20 Toes to Bar
10 Strict Handstand Push-Ups
Dumbbell – 50 / 35 lb
Stimulus
– Conditioning Category: Threshold
– Light dumbbell, and one we feel confident in completing that first set of 30 reps unbroken. At most, a single break after that round.
– Switch arms every 5 reps on the hang clean and jerks.
– Looking to challenge our strict HSPU at the end of each round, but, without becoming “stuck”. Ensure the rep scheme we go with today allows for completion in ~2:00 or less.
– Score: Rounds + Reps
Strategy
THE BIG TAKEAWAYS
1. The combination of hang clean and jerks, toes to bar, and strict handstand push-ups, are a recipe for a good little shoulder burner.
2. The bike is our one place of relief for the shoulders so let’s be smart with pacing here.
3. Let’s hold onto the dumbbell for all 30 reps if we feel confident in completing the handstand push-ups in 2 sets. If we think we’ll need more sets on the handstand push-ups, let’s take a break at half way to conserve the shoulders.
4. Breaking the toes to bar frequently will help to conserve the shoulders for our handstand push-ups. 4-4-4-4-4 or 5-5-5-5 or 8-7-5 or 11-9 are some potential options. Select the option that will allow you to kick right up to the wall.
5. Break up the handstand push-ups as needed. Avoid any sticky or slow reps. Always kick down before we get to these reps.
