5 Rounds for Max Reps: Hang Power Snatches (3/4 Bodyweight), Handstand Push-Ups, Rest as needed between rounds
Primary movement: Hang Snatch/HSPU
Lane is a max-effort couplet: 5 rounds for max reps of hang power snatches at 3/4 bodyweight and handstand push-ups, resting as needed between rounds. Your score is total reps across all ten sets. Like Lynne, there's no clock - just repeated trips to near-failure on a heavy relative-load barbell movement and a high-skill pressing movement. Lane measures shoulder strength-endurance from two very different angles.
| Level (Reps) | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 80 | 65 |
| intermediate | 130 | 105 |
| advanced | 175 | 145 |
| elite | 220+ | 185+ |
Total reps: snatches + HSPU across all 5 rounds.
Stop every set 1-2 reps before failure; a failed snatch at 3/4 bodyweight is both expensive and risky. Rest 2-4 real minutes between rounds. Kipping HSPU stretch your total much further than strict - use them unless training strict capacity specifically. Warm the snatch to above working weight first so 75% bodyweight feels crisp. Expect your set sizes to halve from round 1 to round 5; plan totals, not per-set heroics.
Scaled: hang power snatches at 1/2 bodyweight and pike push-ups. Beginner: light barbell or dumbbell hang snatches and elevated push-ups. Keep the max-reps-then-rest format.
