Movements in this workout
Scaling
Scaled
Pike push-ups on a box, pistols to a box or with a heel counterweight, banded pull-ups. If two of the three movements need scaling, do Cindy instead and log it as Cindy.
Beginner
Do Cindy. Mary is Cindy for athletes whose pistols and handstand push-ups are already automatic. There's no shame and no shortcut in that order.
The story
The advanced sibling of Cindy: the same 20-minute AMRAP format, but with handstand push-ups, one-legged squats, and pull-ups. Where Cindy tests engine, Mary gates the engine behind skill: pistols and handstand push-ups have to be automatic before the workout is about conditioning at all.
