- Handstand Pushups (5-5-5-5-5)
I know that kipping HSPUs are supposed to help give that extra oomph! needed to push through those situations, but I've found that when I tuck both knees to my chest, I tend to lose my balance and come off the wall entirely. Today, though, Tim demonstrated a one-legged kip, keeping the other leg up and against the wall. I gave it a shot, and it worked like a charm.
I'm looking forward to trying a one-legged kip the next time HSPUs show up in a metcon -- just to see if it makes a difference.
Metcon:
AMRAP in 10 minutes:
- 5 thrusters (135lbs / 95lbs)
- 10 toes-to-bar
- 5 bar-hopping burpees
Result: 4 rounds + 17 reps at 115 pounds.
