6 Dual Dumbbell Front Squats @ working load
2 Full Wall Walks to 10in standard
Use this to confirm dumbbell load, front squat elbow position, and wall walk distance standard before the clock starts on "Hammerhead."
Push Press (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
Starting @ 70% on Set 1 (6 Reps), and increasing by feel to around an 8/10 RPE on our 4th Set (3 Reps).
High Wall Balls: 12/11ft Target Choose Loads that allow you to hit the target.
Modifications and Adjustments
- Strict Press for Push Press / Dual Dumbbell Push Press or Strict Press

"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.
