Post time to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout combines a movement with an extensive range of motion with two static holds. Expect this effort to be more metabolic than you think it might be. The thruster weight should be relatively light and allow you to perform your reps unbroken. For the holds, choose variations that allow you to complete both in 3 sets or fewer. Perform the handstand hold against a wall.
Scaling:
Reduce the load of the barbell. Reduce the duration of the holds.
To reduce the complexity of the thrusters, perform the movement with a pair of dumbbells.
For the L-sit holds, bend the knees of one or both legs. For the handstand holds, perform pike holds or plank holds.
In case of injury or limitation, for the thrusters, perform single-arm dumbbell thrusters. If there is an overhead limitation, perform front squats. If there is a squatting limitation, perform push presses. For the L-sit holds, perform seated leg-raise holds. For the handstand holds, perform seated dumbbell shoulder press holds with one or two dumbbells.
Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
10 thrusters
20-second L-sit hold, both knees bent
30-second handstand hold
♀ 55 lb
♂ 75 lb
Beginner option:
5 rounds for time of:
10 thrusters
15-second seated leg-raise hold, both legs bent
20-second overhead plate hold
♀ 35-lb barbell and a 10-lb plate
♂ 45-lb barbell and a 15-lb plate
Coaching cues:
To increase the thrusters' cycle rate, pull the barbell down from the overhead position. As soon as the barbell touches the shoulders, begin your next rep.

Something like this Hunter ;)
Awesome job, Hunter! My wrists weren't stoked about this one either. I do wear supports/wraps. Not sure about mobility, but might help stability until they're stronger/flexier.
Awesome job!
