Handstand Push Up Skill Work:
Spend 20 minutes working on the following:
1) Kicking to the wall
2) Performing HSPU Negatives (no press, controlled decent)
3) Strict HSPU with mats
4) Kipping drills

For those with HSPU (strict/kipping), perform 4 max sets of pausing HSPU (head on ground) followed by max reps of kipping (no coming down after the pausing HSPU)

Today we’re going to spend a large amount of time working on handstand push up progressions. Lets find the highest progression that we can perform with great quality and drill that down.

3RFT 200m run 20 Knees-to-Elbows 200m run 20 DB Thrusters 40/25

Workout – Rx today is Knees-to-Elbows, not TTB. Many of us are working on toes-to-bar but are having issues with stringing them together, which is a result of an improper kip during the rep. During the knees-to-elbows today, we really want to focus on driving down on the bar with our lats, pulling our chest back and bringing our knees up, then actively kicking down and back to reverse directions. *A proper knee to elbow follows the exact same kipping pattern as a toes-to-bar*
