Handstand Push-Up Practice

Work on your kipping handstand push up technique.  Establish a good movement and scaling option based on your current skill level.  Our baseline is being able to hold1 minute in a handstand and do 15 consecutive push-ups on the floor.  If you do not have that capability yet you might be served best by doing pike push-ups on the floor or with your feet on a box.

Workout notes:  If you are trying to go as prescribed on this workout you may perform your cleans as a power or squat clean if necessary. If you are scaling chose a heavy weight that you can perform single power cleans.  If you go unbroken and get really far in the workout you are either really strong or possibly went a little too light.  For those of you scaling HSPU use a method you can perform at least a few at a time when fresh. Anything above two abmats is likely too much assistance to get quality work in.
