Tuesday 20130521 Open Workout

Posted: May 20, 2013 by totactfit01 in Uncategorized

Schedule Note!  Due to Friday and next Monday being Down Days for the 4-Day Memorial Day weekend, we will only have one class this Friday and next Monday.  Both days will be at 0900.  Please make note.

S/S/S:

Handstand Push Up Progression-
3x Max Rep Strict Hand Stand Push Ups

Post total reps to Comments/LogWOD

Put highest round total to comments

Focus here is perfect form for each rep. Have a tight core and recruit as many muscles as possible, you will come into “a loaded position (High torque)” negative, followed by an explosive extension with a distinct lockout. Key point is maintaining that body position and tension while executing the movement, not getting soft.
