Rope Climbs, Parallette HSPU, and OH Pistol Squats

Five rounds for time of:
15 foot L-rope climb, 1 ascent
5 Parallette handstand push-ups
10 Overhead one-legged squats, 45 pound barbell

For the rope climb, begin seated on the ground. For the handstand push-ups, the ears should dip below hand level. For the one-legged squats, alternate legs.


Here are my scalings for the day…Hat’s off to those who rip this out as Rx’d!

L-Rope Climbs: For the first round I did a legless ascent. Second round I made it about 2/3-3/4 of the way up before using my feet to assist. The remaining three rounds were feet assisted.

Paralette HSPUs: I did these off of some big, thick 45# bumpers. My workout partner had a set of parallettes and is was about the same height.

OH 45# BB Pistol Squats: Pistol squats were done on a plyo box so I could get full ROM using a 45# KB held at my chest. Needed more time to play around with the OH Pistol. We were running a little late this morning.


Total time with above Scalings: 10:57
