WOD Brief:
After an abundance of strength work this week, today we get gymnasty and inverted. Handstands, handstand walking, and handstand push ups are high level skills that require ample practice, so today we will take time doing just that. Just like swimming or riding a bike, freestanding handstands and the handstand walk are skills accessible to almost everyone, as they do not require any extraordinary amount of strength or equipment. They are feats which must be learned from scratch, with patience and persistence, and which will challenge your limits and expand your collection of athletic skills. In other words, they will offer you the satisfaction of having taught your body something new and spectacular.
Following the skill work we have TWO ten minute amraps consisting of moderately heavy power cleans, assault bikes and a high level gymnastic skill. Training positions such as handstands under fatigue requires a whole different level of focus and bracing. Stay focused, have fun, and let’s get after it today team…Friday style!
