I'm calming friend, calming...very happy that you are back! Gymnastics and striking might be your ticket. I'm finding out that I have room to move a lot better, lots...This morning was an eye opener on how much time I have wasted doing hand stand pushups in bad position. I used to do the "get them done" style with my head touching the floor on the same plane as my hands. No More! I tell you, no more...so I actually went to a box. Yes, I said a box :(I put my feet on a 20" box and got into a perfectly vertical pike and concentrated on keeping my head in neutral and initiating the movement at the shoulder with my elbows straight back and lowering my head forward of my hand in a "frog headstand" position. Tough but it will pay off in the end (I hope).
A. 3 sets of :30 arch holds
B. 5 sets of 3 (RX was 5x8 on parallettes) handstand push ups
C. 3 rounds for time
10 squat cleans 135
10 bent over rows 135
400 M run
13:26
Carl P says that the handstand push up is the “squat for the upper body”.
Since we initiate our squat by breaking at the hips, we should initiate our HSPU by breaking at the shoulder….
