Skill

EMOM for 10 Minutes

30 seconds of Handstand Push-Ups

For today’s skill work we are working on a difficult gymnastics skill.  The strength and skill minimum for attempting handstand push-ups is 10 perfect and unbroken push-ups as well as at least a 60 second handstand hold.  If you aren’t able to perform the base skills, scale the movement to one that gets you working on the movement and addresses your biggest weakness. Spend 30 seconds of each minute working on the skill by working in small sets or performing single reps if need be. Scale with one or two abmats in order to learn the skill but any more than that and you are better off choosing a scaling option that will address strength issues.  Pike push-ups with your feet on the ground or on a box are a great option.

Workout notes

The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for 8 intervals. You will complete eight intervals at each station and rest one minute while you transition to the next station.  All of the movements in today’s workout are very challenging.  Pace yourself early on so you can maintain a high level of intensity through all four stations.
