"Hammerhead" (4 Rounds for time)

Every 4:00 x 4 Sets

15 Dual Dumbbell Bench Press

10 Dual Dumbbell Front Squats

5 Wall Walks

Dumbbells: 2 x (Rx50/35, S 40/25)

Wall Walk: 10in From Wall
Goal: 2:30-3:00 on / 1:00-1:30 off

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance / Upper Body Push and Squat Volume

RPE: 7/10

Primary Objective: Maintain consistent set times across all 4 sets. This is a volume day, load is secondary to keeping the work window tight and the mechanics clean on every rep.

Secondary Objective: Protect the wall walk quality late in the workout. Sets 3 and 4 will feel heavier in the shoulders after bench and front squats accumulate. Don't rush the wall walk, a controlled rep is faster than a sloppy one that has to be re-done.
