you have done 5 sets of push-ups.<br />

Once again, for this and any push-up workout, if you have exhausted<br />

your push-up muscles, and you can utilize push-ups from the knees to<br />

<strong>com</strong>plete your set without breaking it, do that sometimes. But sometimes<br />

take a quick rest, and then <strong>com</strong>plete the set utilizing strict push-ups<br />

with the feet on the ground.<br />

LIFT<br />

Primary Work: 5 minutes of handstand holds<br />

Secondary Work: Arm haulers<br />

Tertiary Work: Arm circles, side, front, overhead<br />

Gut: 2 minutes of V-ups<br />

MetCon: Run 400 meters 2 times, max effort<br />

Directions: Hold the handstand position for a total of 5 minutes. Do<br />

not do this workout if you cannot hold a handstand position for at<br />

least 1 minute. If you cannot hold a handstand position for at least 1<br />

minute, go back to the Lift workout in Series 1, 2, or 3.<br />

For this workout go into the handstand position using a wall for<br />

balance. Stay there as long as you can without reaching <strong>com</strong>plete muscle<br />

failure and falling onto your head. Count the seconds to track how long<br />

you stayed up. Repeat sets until you have reached a total amount of 5<br />

minutes in the handstand position.<br />

Once <strong>com</strong>plete, do 1 minute of arm haulers, then 1 minute of arm circles<br />

for each position: side, front, and overhead.<br />

SQUAT<br />

Primary Work: 50 forward lunges and 50 squats<br />

Gut: 1 minute of crunches, 1 minute of reverse crunches<br />

MetCon: Max burpees in 2 minutes<br />

Directions: Perform 50 forward lunges for each leg, alternating legs<br />

with each repetition. Do the lunges in a steady controlled manner. Your<br />

knee should brush the ground on each repetition. Time yourself for your<br />

records, but the goal is not speed—the goal is controlled lunges at a<br />

steady pace. If you reach muscle fatigue, take a 2–3 minute break and<br />

then continue. Repeat until you have done the 50 lunges. Once you have<br />

<strong>com</strong>pleted 50 lunges, do 50 body-weight squats.<br />

Again, the goal is not speed, but controlled movement with the fullest<br />

range of motion you are capable of. If you need to stop and rest, that<br />

is fine. Rest for a minute or two, then continue.<br />

If you lose your balance at the bottom of the squat, it may help to put<br />

a 2-inch block under your heels during the squat. Over time, you can
