Q: What is a good Diane time?

3–14 min is a typical finishing range for Diane. A couplet of a heavy pull and an inverted press. The deadlifts should be quick; the handstand push-ups are usually the limiter.

The workout (For Time)

21-15-9 reps for time:
Deadlift — 102 kg (225 lb) / 70 kg (155 lb)
Handstand push-up

Estimated time: 3–14 min. A couplet of a heavy pull and an inverted press. The deadlifts should be quick; the handstand push-ups are usually the limiter.

Standards

Rx men: 102 kg · Rx women: 70 kg
Deadlift to full hip and knee extension; strict HSPU, head to the floor, arms locked at the top.

Scaling

Reduce the deadlift so the 21 is at most two quick sets.
Scale HSPU to pike push-ups off a box or to a target you can string together.

Coaching tips

Touch-and-go the deadlifts only while your form is crisp — singles are fine.
Break the handstand push-ups before failure to avoid a long time stuck at the wall.
