WOD Brief

Skills today will focus on improving the kip of our handstand push-ups. If we are still working on the HSPU, we’ll take time on strict movements in the pike and full vertical. For kip work we’ll work first with our feet on the ground – frog jumps and inverted both facing / reversed against the wall.. Focus on drives to the sky vs arching to the wall or falling towards the rig.

The WOD is a retest Open workout and a simple couplet. We’ll do 3 handstand pushups and then 3 cleans. Each round add 3 reps to the handstand pushups. The cleans are heavy and likely singles. The weight should be challenging enough, but not stop anyone in their tracks. The point of our training is to consistently train and hit the target stimulus to create a better fitter self. Adjust the barbell as you need.

Scaling from the Open suggests a 10 rep push press and 10 rep clean across the 8 minutes. This would be a solid workout in and of itself. So if you scale to this standard, you’ll get an incredible workout. This scale uses 2 barbells as follows:

Men push press 95 lb. and clean 115 lb.
Women push press 65 lb. and clean 75 lb.
