Comments Off on Handstand Pushups and Pullups then Handstand and Core Work

Part A: EMOM for 9 minutes, perform the following rep scheme for strict deficit Handstand Pushups:  5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5.  During the same minute, immediately following the HSPU, do 5 Strict Pullups.

Part B: Then EMOM for 18 minutes do:

  • Odd minutes:  7 x Knee Tucks from Hollow Hold
  • Even minutes:  2 x Wall Walks

Part C: Then do 4 x 30 second max Handstand Hold / 30 second Rest

Results:  Format for part A did not work this time.  In round 6 could not do all 5 pullups unbroken which made me overrun in the last two rounds.  Carried on anyway to complete all sets, just no rest between.

Complete 5 sets of the following:

  • 5 x Body Weight Bench Press
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • Max Reps Reverse Rows with Feet Raised
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then do two 20/10 4 minute tabattas alternating for each round.

  • Feet Anchored Situps
  • Russian Twist @ 10kg

Then EMOM for 4 rounds do 30 second (or max effort) Handstand Hold.

Results: The tabatta was really hard, I guess I need to work on situps and twists more often.  Could hardly move at the end.
