A.
Three sets of:
Jerk Balance x 3 reps (75, 95, 110)
Immediately followed by…
Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets) of:
Split Jerk x 3 reps @ 70-80% (108)
Focus here is on PERFECT mechanics. Pause in the receiving position and check that you are perfectly balanced and your feet are where you want them to be before recovering.

B.
Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets) of:
Deadlift
*Set 1 – 8 reps @ 50% 125
*Set 2 – 6 reps @ 60% 150
*Set 3 – 4 reps @ 70% 178
*Set 4 – 2 reps @ 80% 205
*Set 5 – 2 reps @ 85% 217
(All unbroken)

C.
Every 90 seconds for 9 minutes (6 sets):
Speed Deadlift x 3 reps @ 70% 178
Reset the barbell every time on the floor…do not perform these touch and go.

D.
For time:
Run 400 Meters
21 Strict Handstand Push-Ups**
Run 400 Meters
15 Strict Handstand Push-Ups**
Run 400 Meters
9 Strict Handstand Push-Ups**

The blog recommended that if you're bad at handstand push ups to substitute the 400 and 200s with 200 and 100s. I did all at 2 ab mats and broke once in each set. Finished in 9:58.

D.
Complete rounds of 21, 15 and 9 reps for time of:
Strict Handstand Push-Ups
Ring Dips
Burpees to Target 6″ Over Reach
24:23; did the pushups with toes on a box, ring dips 4 no band, finished the set of 21 with 1 red band, then did the rest with 2 red. Those were my weakest by far.  Overall happy with the strict, that will be a good way to strengthen myself. Need to add tricep work.
