Meet Guest Programmer – Michele Letendre: Dec. 4-17, 2023.

5 rounds for time of:
4 strict deficit handstand push-ups
8 kipping deficit handstand push-ups
16 dumbbell box step-overs

♀ 4-inch deficit, 20-inch box, 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 6-inch deficit, 24-inch box, 50-lb dumbbells

Hold two dumbbells in a farmers carry position for the step-overs.

Post your time to comments.

Goal: Upper-body pressing strength endurance + posterior-chain endurance. Aim to finish in 12-15 minutes.

Aim to move from the strict handstand push-ups (ideally unbroken) to the kipping without breaking and complete the kipping handstand push-ups in 1 to 2 sets. Break the step-overs as needed to achieve the goal.

The goal is to move unbroken from the strict to the kipping handstand push-ups. This adds an element of speed that can be surprising. Aim to complete the kipping handstand push-ups in 1-2 sets.

The training effect will be interesting because we don't get a break on the step-ups since they are loaded with dumbbells — your upper back and rear delts will be under tension the entire time. Break up the step-ups as needed to maintain the goal of the day.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
4 strict handstand push-ups
8 kipping handstand push-ups
16 dumbbell box step-overs

♀ 20-inch box, 25-lb dumbbells
♂ 24-inch box, 35-lb dumbbells

For the handstand push-ups, you may reduce the reps to 3 and 6, respectively, so long as the strict handstand push-ups remain unbroken. If the volume of handstand push-ups is still too high, consider reducing the reps further or adding one or two AbMats under your head to reduce range of motion.

Beginner option:
5 rounds for time of:
4 strict dumbbell shoulder presses
8 dumbbell push presses
16 unweighted box step-overs

♀ 16-inch box
♂ 20-inch box

Use the heaviest pair of dumbbells that allows you to complete 4 strict shoulder presses and 8 push presses unbroken.

The main focus for beginners is pressing endurance with the strict and push press. This is a great opportunity to practice core-to-extremity movement patterns. Focus on keeping your weight in your heels for the entire workout.

BodyBuilding: Shoulders and Glutes Barbell Strict Press 5 sets: 10-12 Reps (Weight increasing across sets) -Rest 90 sec b/t sets- *Focus: Take barbell from the rig. Keep abs and glutes engaged to prevent over extension of the low back. Use a slightly staggered stance if needed.
Standing Double DB Strict Press + Push Press 4 sets: 10 Double DB Strict Press + 5-10 Double DB Push Press *Focus: DB’s start at the shoulders and are pressed overhead. Focus on a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Weight should allow for 10 reps on strict press but not much more. Without putting the dumbbells down, complete an additional 5-10 DB push press.
Standing Single Arm Banded Front Raise 4 sets: 12-15 reps(each side); light to moderate weight band *Focus: Attach a light weight band to the rig around knee level. Face away from the band and brace core to stay balanced throughout movement. Grasp band and lift to shoulder height with a straight arm and return down. Show control throughout movement. Use DB if a band is not available.
Single Arm Bent Over Lateral Raise 4 sets: 12-15 reps(each side); light to moderate weight band *Focus: Same band setup as previous movement. Bend at a 45-90 degree angle with the torso and stand parallel to the rig. The working arm (farthest from the rig) will raise the arm to the side to shoulder height. Show control throughout and keep core engaged.
GHD Hip Raise 5 sets: 20 reps; unloaded or holding a plate or DB *Focus: Set up GHD so hips are slightly past the hip pad. Go down to 90 degrees and raise to parallel. Avoid using excessive momentum to complete reps and squeeze glutes at the top of each rep
Walking Double DB Lunge 4 sets: 25 yds (moderate weight in each hand) DB’s can be held by the sides or on the shoulders *Focus: Use straps or grips if needed so grip is not an issue. Use a weight that will allow for control with each step and focus on glute engagement with each step.
