***DELOAD WEEK***

Handstand skill work courtesy of CF Gymnastics
 
1. Set down PVC facing out from the wall. Kick up to handstand with one hand on each side of the PVC. Alternate between normal width and narrow by bringing the opposite hand over the PVC so that both hands are on same side of the PVC. Work on shifting weight from side to side.


-Maintain hollow body while inverted - toes are pointed
-Straddle if you need more stability
🔹for warmup purposes TRY
2x 14 taps back and forth
🔹for conditioning purposes TRY:
3 max effort sets - rest 1 to 2 min between sets to give wrists and shoulders a break


2. Handstand Complex
1 Shoulder Tap (right/left)
1 straight arm side tap (right/left)
1 Strict HSPU

Repeat but add +1 rep to each skill until 5 reps -- then repeat 3 more times (rest about 90sec between sets)


3. Handstand Walk Progression
For the same reason we learn how to snatch from each position w a PVC then move to a barbell...and slowly add weight...You can't expect to just kick up to a handstand and magically walk on your hands well.
This drill builds confidence and strength as you progress in your "angle" ...the closer you walk towards wall the more weight you essentially "put on" until your completed inverted. Start at your level (this could be in a plank) & only go as far as you can where you stay controlled!
✔️hollow body (pelvis tucked under) 

-4 shoulder taps 
-4 straight arm lifts
🔺walk closer to the wall
▪️repeat
🔺continue until you no longer have control or success
