STIMULUS and GOALS
Stimulus for today’s workout is moderate intensity across, while trying to stay consistent with round times. This workout is great for building capacity and endurance in Handstand Push Ups and core strength.
WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Calorie Ski: This needs to be approached with moderate intensity at a controlled pace. Keep arms/triceps loose by rolling out during the ascent. Goal time should be to finish under 1:45.
.
GHDs/AbMat: High Volume on this so approach with caution. Goal is non-stop and make sure to whip the hands up on every rep to help launch the body up. Keep head neutral and breathe through the motion.
Handstand Push Ups: Goal should to keep sets manageable (2-3) where avoiding failure is top priority.
Remember to control the descent smoothly and explode into the press without hesitation.
