WOD

“No Such Thing”
10 Deadlifts (315/205)
20 Handstand Push Ups
30 Bar Facing Burpees
40 Sit Ups
50 Dumbbell Snatches (50/35)
40 Sit Ups
30 Bar Facing Burpees
20 Handstand Push Ups
10 Deadlifts

WOD Guidance & Goals:
Use 70% of your 1 rep max for the deadlifts and execute in sets of 2-3 reps. The handstand push ups are kipping (strict to 2 abmats and dumbbell press are scaling options). There are two ways to attack the handstands, start with a larger set then chip away with smaller sets or start/continue with smaller sets and shorter breaks. Steady pace on the burpees, sit ups and snatches. Then pick up the pace on the next set of sit ups and burpees. Handstand push ups, do in smaller sets (shoulders will feel spicy!) and attack the deadlifts. Target 16 minutes.
