Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (9/10): High total volume of handstand push-ups (45 reps), ring dips (45 reps), and push-ups (45 reps) will exhaust upper body pushing stamina (shoulders, chest, triceps) and core stability.
  • Strength (8/10): Handstand push-ups and ring dips require significant relative upper body pressing strength. Even standard push-ups become a strength challenge at this volume and fatigue level.
  • Endurance (6/10): The 21-15-9 format of three challenging gymnastics pushing movements (HSPU, Ring Dips, Push-Ups) creates a significant metabolic demand, testing pushing-biased conditioning.
  • Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of all three pushing movements and minimizing rest is key for a good time, but managing pushing fatigue is paramount.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Requires good shoulder and wrist mobility for HSPU and ring dips to achieve full range of motion and maintain stability.
  • Power (4/10): While primarily strength/stamina, kipping HSPU or explosive dips can have a power component, but the focus is on controlled reps through volume.

Modality Profile
