10 x 1 lunge kick to freestanding handstand
Spend some time practicing kicking into a handstand either in your square or against a wall. If you don’t feel comfortable or aren’t ready to kick upside down yet you can grab a box and practice some pike holds. Whatever you choose make sure to focus on getting your shoulders in a good position and “stacking” your joints. Elbows over wrists and shoulders over elbows will give you the strongest position to support yourself upside down.
Workout of the Day
AMRAP in 15 minutes
3 power cleans
30 double unders
We’ve got another heavy barbell paired with a bodyweight movement today. Power cleans and double unders are probably a bit more fun than thrusters and burpees though right? 🙂 Your power clean weight should be a bit heavier than what you might normally use in a workout. Singles will probably be the best bet to get through the reps each round but if you can squeak out touch and go reps that is fine too. Double unders can be scaled down by volume first before switching to singles.
