Warm-up reminder:
If you are on the basic warm-up, continue on with that until you are able to achieve 10 Rx’d reps per 30 second interval. If you are on the levels, make sure you are able to Rx your level before moving to the next. Today is the beginning of the workout week, so everyone on levels resets back to level 1.
Skill:
Kipping Handstand Pushups
10 complete reps, break them up as needed.
There are strict HSPU, and there are Kipping HSPU. See video above for the kipping style. Use an abmat or two, but work your way down to not using any at all, once you are ready.
*If you have not tried a HSPU before, then today is your day to get yourself up on the wall! Remember to lock those arms out completely and keep them locked, before attempting to stand yourself against the wall. If you are unable to perform the push-up once you are on the wall, just focus on getting yourself up and down from the wall 10 times. In time, and once you are comfortable on the wall, try pushing your head into 3 abmats, then 2, then 1, then to the floor.

Scaling Movements
If the workout calls for a movement that the athlete is not able to do as prescribed yet then the athlete can use this time to work toward the next progression. Using bands for pull-ups? Can you get 7 in a row with the one you are using? Try to do some with a thinner band. Doing ring rows? Try progressing toward a couple of pull-ups with a band. Can’t squat below parallel yet? Try and get lower each time. Using a bench for push-ups? Try a couple from your knees. Talk to your coach/trainer if you have questions on how to progress in a movement.
