Minute 3: Max Calorie Echo Bike
Minute 4: Rest

Stimulus and Objectives:

Score: Total Calories on Echo Bike
Goal: 15–25 (M) / 10-20 (F) Calories Per Echo Interval

Stimulus: Upper Body Gymnastics Control + Midline Capacity + Echo Sprint Effort
RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Maintain Quality Reps on the HSPU and GHD Sit-Ups
Secondary Objective: Maximize sustainable output on the bike after gymnastics demand

Workout Strategy:
“Why So Serious?” is a test of gymnastics integrity and recovery under fatigue, with an opportunity to cash out on the bike for score. The EMOM structure builds in muscular fatigue before each sprint, requiring athletes to manage tension and output.

The strict wall-facing HSPU will challenge shoulder stamina and midline control. These should be completed in 1–2 sets (5-3 or 4-4) … form is the priority here. We like the Wall Facing Handstand Push-Ups because it develops better body alignment and strict pressing strength capacity.

GHD Sit-Ups follow up with explosive hip extension and flexion, which will challenge midline integrity towards the end of the workout. Maintain rhythm and tension without overextending or compromising breathing.

The Echo Bike should be a hard, focused effort, not an all-out sprint, while staying aggressive enough to maximize calories without crashing. Build into the pace in the first 10 seconds, hold for 30, and push in the final 5–10 seconds.

Movement Modifications:

Echo Bike: Sub with any machine if needed to accommodate class size and/or equipment limitations.

Wall-Facing Strict HSPU: Reduce to 6 reps, or modify to pike HSPU, box pike HSPU, or seated DB Z-Press (8–10 reps).

GHD Sit-Ups: Scale to 12 reps or modify to weighted Abmat Sit-Ups or V-Ups.

Stimulus and Objectives:
Score: Time
Time Cap: 14:00
Goal: 7:00 – 11:00
Stimulus: Leg Stamina & Gymnastics Volume Under Fatigue
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Stay consistent on pull-up volume while cycling light front squats efficiently
Secondary Objective: Keep consistent unbroken reps on Front Squats throughout.
Workout Strategy:
“Wax On, Wax Off” is a classic push-pull combo with substantial volume that requires breathing, composure, and postural control. The first set of 20 will set the tone. Look to break up strategically to allow for even pacing across the workout.
Front squats should be cycled as unbroken smooth reps or at most 2 sets for each set. Keep elbows high, heels grounded, and breathe through the top.
Pull-ups are where grip and arms can fade. Plan early breaks (e.g., 10-10, 8-7, 6-4) and stay quick on transitions. Don’t fall into the trap of going out hot on the round of 20 and struggling through the back half.
The descending-ascending rep scheme brings the mental game into play during the second round of 15s, so pace this round like your opener.
Movement Modifications:

Pull-Ups: First consider reducing volume to 16-12-8-12-8-4 reps per round or modify to banded pull-ups, jumping pull-ups. Lastly we can move to ring rows to keep the stimulus and have athletes stay moving.

Front Squats: First reduce loading to keep within the intended rep range per set. If needed, move to Back Squats or use DB Front Squats or Goblet Squats.

Goal: ~6 Rounds +/- 10-20 Reps
Score: Rounds + Reps

Stimulus: Gymnastics Density
RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Maintain movement consistency and pacing across the entire 16 minute AMRAP
Secondary Objective: Maintain Big Sets on Strict Pull-Ups… we want a dose effect here from going for a big set of strict pull-ups to start each round.

Workout Strategy:
This AMRAP tests shoulder stamina and upper body control across all three movement patterns. Strict Pull-Ups will accumulate quickly, but we should just give ourselves enough of a reset to maintain a good big set to open with. Maintain a steady cadence and quick transitions to the Handstand Walk.

The Handstand Walks are the focal point of this workout. Focus on shoulder stacking, straight arms and short breaks if needed. Completing these segments consistently will be the separator in this workout. Avoid being too aggressive early on and think about possibly breaking up into 10ft (3m) segments with short breaks early on to avoid failure later in the workout.

The American Kettlebell Swings are meant to be on the heavier side today and add in some grip interference for the Pull-Ups. Be sure to really use your hips and hip hinge to dynamically drive the kettlebell overhead.

Movement Modifications:

Kettlebell Swings: First reduce load. If needed, modify to Russian swings for shoulder limitations.

Strict Pull-Ups: First reduce volume to 8–10 reps. Then modify to banded strict pull-ups or jumping pull-ups with a controlled eccentric

Handstand Walk: Scale distance to 10ft or 15ft segments. Adjust to 4x5ft Handstand Walks to Wall, modify to wall-facing shoulder taps, box pike walks, or 2 Wall Walks for each segment.
