  • NOTES

    Prior to starting the workout, the athlete will need to mark a line on the wall for the handstand push-ups (details in Movement Standards section). Lengths on the floor will also need to be measured and marked for the handstand walk. 

    This workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. After the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete may perform 21 deadlifts, then move to the wall for 21 handstand push-ups, then complete 15 deadlifts and 15 handstand push-ups, then 9 deadlifts and 9 handstand push-ups.

    The athlete may then move on to the heavier barbell to complete 21 deadlifts, a 50-ft. handstand walk, 15 deadlifts, another 50-ft. handstand walk, and finally, 9 deadlifts and a third 50-ft. handstand walk.

    The athlete’s score will be the time it takes to complete the workout or the total number of repetitions completed before the 9-minute time cap. Each completed 5-foot section of the handstand walk will count as 1 rep.

    TIEBREAK

    This workout includes a tiebreak. If the athlete completes the entire workout prior to the 9-minute time cap, their score will be their total time, and there will be no tiebreaker. However, if the athlete is not able to complete the entire workout, note the time at the end of each set of deadlifts. When submitting a score, there will be a space for the final rep count and an additional field to enter the elapsed time at which the athlete completed their last full set of deadlifts. In the case where two athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be ranked higher. Do NOT use a countdown timer.

    • Standard bumper plates (18-inch diameter) to load to the appropriate weights for your division
    • Collars to secure the plates on the barbell
