Intended Stimulus
Is it a chipper? Is it an AMRAP? That’s easy, it’s an AMRAP that feels a bit like a long chipper. Today the sets are big and will require some breaking up. That’s not to sway anyone from going heavy! If there was any day to accidentally go on the heavy side, it’s today. Have a plan going into the workout. You can always adjust that plan! Pick a KB you can swing USA at least 20 reps unbroken. You’ll use that same load for the step-ups, and yes, you’ll need to break these up into smaller sets as well. The sit-ups will be a breeze after all that KB work! Lastly (well, lastly if it was a chipper!) you have 20 handstand push-ups. These will be tough, especially after all those reps, but if you can do a few in a row, go for it today! If you need a scaling, you’ll likely be doing down dog push-ups 🙂 Check the clock after your 20 HSPU, you might have a few minutes to get back into the swings and, dare I say, the step-ups?!
