Workout Description
AMRAP in 5 minutes
9 Handstand Push-Ups
6 Burpees
3 Snatches (165/115 lb)
Why This Workout Is Hard
A short, fast AMRAP with gymnastics and moderate weight. Tests speed, skill, and transition efficiency.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Power (8/10): Snatches are a primary power movement. Burpees are explosive. Kipping HSPU utilize power. The WOD is a test of sustained high power output in a sprint format.
- Speed (8/10): This is an all-out sprint. Extremely fast cycling of all three movements with absolutely minimal transition time is critical for maximizing rounds in 5 minutes.
- Strength (7/10): Snatches at 165/115 lbs are a moderate-heavy load for 3 reps in a sprint AMRAP. HSPU require good relative pressing strength.
- Stamina (6/10): Cycling HSPU (pushing stamina), burpees (full-body stamina), and moderate-heavy snatches for 5 minutes at maximal intensity tests the ability to maintain output with minimal rest across varied demands.
- Flexibility (6/10): Requires shoulder/wrist mobility for HSPU. Good mobility for snatches (overhead squat position). Basic burpee mobility.
- Endurance (5/10): AMRAP in 5 minutes of 9 handstand push-ups, 6 burpees, and 3 snatches (165/115 lb). This is a very short, intense sprint testing gymnastics, conditioning, and moderate-heavy lifting under extreme time pressure.
Modality Profile
A triplet with two gymnastics movements (Handstand Push-Ups, Handstand Walk) and one weightlifting movement (Deadlifts). The emphasis is on gymnastics strength and skill.
