Then Load Weight on the Barbell
Back Squat (EMOM x 10
1 Back Squat @ 80%+
Tempo: 20x1 (2-second descent / no pause / fast concentric))
Athletes build from 80% and increase load across the window when positions are clean and the drive out of the hole is confident. The two-second eccentric is mandatory on every rep -- this is where the adaptation lives. The concentric should be aggressive and deliberate, not a slow grind. Athletes should be approaching their ceiling single in the final two to three minutes of the window.
Modifications:
Level 1: EMOM x 10: 3 Back Squats at 6-7 RPE across all ten sets with the same 20x1 tempo standard
-Low Back Pain: EMOM x 10: 1-2 Split Squats or Reverse Lunges per side, controlled and deliberate
- Knee Pain: EMOM x 10: 1 Box Squat or 1 Barbell Hip Thrust, building in load
Low Back + Knee Pain: EMOM x 10: 1-2
Barbell Hip Thrusts, controlled tempo and strong lockout at the top
Workout Prep / Primer
2 Sets at working pace:
10 Deadlifts @ light / warm-up load
3 Eccentric Handstand Push-Ups / Box Pike Handstand Push-Ups
5 Deadlifts @ moderate / warm-up load
3 Strict Handstand Push-Ups / Box Piked Handstand Push-Ups
3 Deadlifts @ working load
Use this to confirm Deadlift loading and handstand push-up access and set size before "Hornet" begins.
"Hornet" (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)
7:00 AMRAP
For Reps:
3-5-7-9-11 ... Strict Handstand Push-Ups
5-8-11-14-17 ... Deadlifts
Score = Total Reps
Barbell: (Rx 225/155, S 165/125)
Goals: 85-110 Reps
Stimulus: High Intensity Couplet / Upper Body Push + Lower Body Pull
RPE: 8.5/10
Primary Objective: Complete the Deadlifts unbroken through the third round of 11 reps -- midline stays braced and the hinge pattern stays consistent across every set.
Secondary Objective: Keep Handstand Push-Up form tight and consistent throughout -- hollow body position, strong press, and deliberate sets that protect against hitting failure on the wall.
Workout Strategy
"Hornet" is a high-intensity couplet that builds rep debt fast, and the athletes who respect the early rounds will be the ones still moving in the final two minutes. The Strict Handstand Push-Ups are the limiter. Start with controlled sets that you can repeat -- if three unbroken is the most you can hold while maintaining hollow body and strong lockout, then sets of three with short rest is the right call from the very beginning. Do not go unbroken in round one and pay for it on round three. The Deadlifts at 225/155lb, 102/70kg are the engine. They should be completed unbroken through 11 reps with a braced midline and controlled tension through the hamstrings on every rep -- do not let the lower back take over to finish the pull. Once athletes reach the 14- and 17-rep sets, smart athletes will take a quick breath mid-set rather than dropping the bar entirely. The ladder climbs every round and the reps compound quickly. Every rep counts toward the score, so the goal is to keep both movements moving with short, deliberate rest rather than long breaks.
