3) Upper Body Strength:

Alternating Every Minute on the Minute for 14 minutes (7 sets each):

Barbell Strict Press x 2 (build to heaviest 2 rep with good technique)

Snatch Grip Bent Over Rows x 4 (build to heaviest 4 rep with good technique)

*reps dropped, increase weight from last week

*complete the 2 presses, rest for the remainder of the minute, complete the 4 rows, rest for the remainder of the minute, continue this patter for all sets

*strict press is a strength marker for strict Handstand Push-ups, if you can do 1 rep at 75% of your body weight then you should have the strength to do a strict handstand push-up

*snatch grip rows is a strength marker for Pull-ups, if you can do 1 rep at 75-80% of your body weight then you should have the strength to do a pull-up

Formula for calculating your estimated max:

Weight used x reps completed = A

A x 0.0333 = B

B + Weight used = Estimated max

Divide this estimated max by your body weight to see where you are relative to having the strength for these skills

Example if I did 115 for 6 reps on strict press weighing 215

115 x 6 = 690

690 x 0.0333 = 23 (rounded)

23 + 115 = 140 (rounded)

140/215 = 65% of my body weight (10% off from having the strength for a strict handstand push-up)
