-The primary goal for today is to accumulate 60 Kipping Handstand Push-Ups within the 4 rounds. To do this, you need to be getting 15 reps each round. This is certainly achievable as long as you scale the movement correctly. You can either reduce the volume down to a number more achievable for your skill level or scale the movement to Box Pike reps, Dual Dumbbell Seated Strict Presses or even Hand Release Push-Ups.
-Ideally you should be aiming for 45-60 seconds of time on the wall to accumulate max reps. Make sure you select a weight on the Lunges which allows you to complete all 20 reps unbroken and fast.

-On the Wall Balls, try to maintain a consistent pace for the full rep count. These 20 reps should take about 45 seconds.
-Keep in mind, technique is really important for today’s work. If you don’t leverage your legs on Wall Balls and/or Push Press and instead over index on upper body strength, this work will become very difficult, very quick.
