Deadlift the bar up. Big breath. Bent knees (Knees in flexion) the whole time. Down to right below the knee, then back up. This is NOT an explosive movement.
The lifts starts at the top. Not from the floor. Concentrate on hamstring contraction. Focus on technique over weight.
WOD:
3 RFT:
15 Deadlifts 185/115
10 HandStand Push Ups

Video courtesy of CrossFit Santa Clara. Games athlete Jason Khalipa going over the kipping variation of the handstand push up. Learning how to do these will help you with strict handstand pushups as well. Big thing to notice is when the girl is at the bottom of the pushup, she rotates her hips with her butt against the wall. This enables her to create more momentum to drive her body upward. It also makes it easier to NOT kick the wall, therefore knocking you off your handstand. Give these a try today!
