If you’re fast like Katrin, you’ll have a little rest time each round. Otherwise, get ready to hustle.

The goal here is simple: try to go unbroken and finish each round as quickly as possible in order to maximize your rest time.

Now, that might mean you scale some or all of this workout. The overhead squats are easy enough to scale — simply choose a lighter weight. Let’s talk about the strict handstand push-ups.

Scaling Strict Handstand Push-Ups

You have several options to choose from if your strict handstand push-ups aren’t quite where they need to be, the most obvious being kipping handstand push-ups.

If those are too much of a challenge, there are a few directions you go could in. If spending time upside is something you need to work on, you could do handstand holds against the wall. These will help you get comfortable with the position, allow you to work on technique, and also give you a chance to build upper body strength.

However, you could opt for traditional push-ups instead. This is yet another great opportunity to build strength. If you need to scale this further, you could do push-ups from your knees or with your hands on a box, to change the incline and make it easier. Incline push-ups with your knees on a box are another excellent way to scale handstand push-ups.

Loosen up those shoulders and get ready for a really spicy one — this is going to burn. Good luck!
