Great work here brother!!!

I know you probably have a strong strict press. The trick is getting used to doing a handstand into the wall and getting comfortable
with being upside down. Then in order to do them easily, your hands need to be inline with your head. Once I figured that out I was able
to start repping out 10-15 strict at a time.

A.
Take 15-20 minutes to find your 1-RM Snatch

B.
“Commitment”
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
8 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups
2 Snatches

Rules of “Commitment”:
*The load you select must stay the same throughout the 10 minutes – you cannot increase or decrease the load.
**You are only allowed two snatch attempts in each minute.
***Score your total load successfully lifted. E.g. 185 x 2, 185 x 2, 185 x 1.F = 925

Why “Commitment”? – because everything is easy in the beginning; the question is what can you commit to and follow through on no matter how difficult it gets.
Rest until fully recovered, and then…
C.
Strict Handstand Push-Up Density
For max reps:
90 seconds of Strict Handstand Push-Ups
Rest 30 seconds
60 seconds of Strict Handstand Push-Ups
Rest 30 seconds
30 seconds of Strict Handstand Push-Ups

Note reps achieved for each set.
Optional Additional Conditioning Session
(This session is best performed 3-4 hours prior to or following today’s primary session.)

For time:
Run 1600 meters

CTJ this is really detailed and hard. Commitment is the right word. I'm really amazed by this. All of it really....things like those rings etc...

Yea upsidedown is interesting. I was upside down at POB's house in a monolift. I liked it but it was scary.

A.
Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):
Power Clean x 3 reps

Build to today’s heavy triple, and then…
Every 2 minutes, for 8 minutes (4 sets):
Clean x 3 reps

Build to today’s heavy triple, and then…
Every 2 minutes, for 6 minutes (3 sets):
Clean Pulls x 3 reps

B.
In 15 minutes or less, build to today’s “heavy”…
Back Squat x 1 rep

The goal is to establish today’s “heavy” lift. “Heavy” for the day is the load immediately before that at which you would lose proper mechanics and positioning. Stop as soon as you determine that you’ve reached that load.
C.
Every two minutes, for 24 minutes (6 sets of each):
Station 1 – Back Squat x 8 reps @ 70-75% of today’s 1-RM
Station 2 – 50 Double-Unders + 12 Toes to Bar

D.
Two sets of:
100-Meter Pinch-Grip Plate Carry
(walk, don’t run)
Rest as needed
20 GHD Sit-Ups
Rest as needed

Optional Additional Conditioning Session
(This session is best performed 3-4 hours prior to or following today’s primary session.)

Five sets of:
Run 800 Meters
Rest 90 seconds

Pacing: Run each 800 meters at 85% of last week’s 1-Mile time trial pace – e.g., if your 1-mile was 6:00, run today’s session at 1:45/400m.
