This workout combines high-skill movements (strict HSPU) with continuous work across 6 rounds. The strict handstand push-ups become the primary limiting factor, requiring significant upper body strength and shoulder stability. Most average CrossFitters will struggle with 36 total strict HSPU, especially as fatigue accumulates from the toes-to-rings. The continuous format with no built-in rest amplifies the difficulty, forcing athletes to work through mounting shoulder and grip fatigue.
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
This workout consists of 6 rounds of: 6 Lateral Box Jumps (24/20), 6 Toes through Rings, 6 STRICT Handstand Push Ups, 6 Toes through Rings. Movement analysis: Lateral Box Jumps take ~2 sec/rep fresh, Toes through Rings ~2 sec/rep, STRICT HSPUs are significantly slower at ~8-12 sec/rep in complex workouts. Round 1 breakdown: 6 box jumps (12s) + 6 T2R (12s) + 6 strict HSPUs (60s) + 6 T2R (12s) = 96s + 15s transitions = 111s. The strict handstand push-ups are the major limiting factor, requiring significant rest between reps and sets. Fatigue multipliers: Round 1-2: 1.0x, Round 3-4: 1.2x, Round 5-6: 1.4x. Total fresh time would be ~666s, but with fatigue and the demanding nature of strict HSPUs, elite times extend to 6+ minutes. This workout has similarities to gymnastics-heavy benchmarks but the strict HSPU requirement makes it exceptionally challenging. The combination of overhead pressing fatigue with grip-intensive T2R creates significant interference. Final targets: L10: 360s (6:00), L5: 600s (10:00), L1: 1080s (18:00).
All three movements (Lateral Box Jump, Toes-to-Bar, Handstand Push-Up) are bodyweight gymnastics movements requiring no external load or cyclical cardio components.
| Attribute | Score | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Endurance | 6/10 | Six rounds of continuous bodyweight movements with minimal rest creates moderate cardiovascular demand, though not as sustained as longer AMRAPs. |
| Stamina | 8/10 | High volume of strict handstand push-ups and toes through rings will heavily tax upper body muscular endurance across multiple rounds. |
| Strength | 7/10 | Strict handstand push-ups require significant pressing strength, while toes through rings demand considerable core and grip strength throughout. |
| Flexibility | 6/10 | Handstand position requires good shoulder mobility, while toes through rings demands hip flexion and thoracic extension for proper execution. |
| Power | 4/10 | Lateral box jumps provide explosive lower body demand, but other movements are more strength-endurance focused than purely explosive. |
| Speed | 5/10 | Moderate rep counts allow for steady pacing, though transitions between four different movement patterns require efficient cycling. |
