121021 Handstand practice

Buy in:
Foam rolling
hip and shoulder MOB

Skill:
15 minutes chest to wall Handstand practice.
Notes: The goal is to find a position that is basically nose and toes to wall. If this is easy, then begin to try shoulder touches without allowing the torso or thighs to collapse against the wall.

Handstands were much better than I expected. No issues with keeping the required position.

Metcon:
1a) 3X7 Seated DB Shoulder press – heaviest possible, rest 30 sec.
1b) 3X7 Good Mornings – heavy, rest 30 sec.
1c) 3X20 BB Stepups 20″ (front rack)– heavy, rest 30 sec.
1d) 3X7 Weighted Muscle-Ups – heaviest possible, rest 30 sec.
Notes: Stepups are 20 total alternating steps. Use a challenging weight, but do not use so much that you allow the trail leg to touch the box before the stepping leg is fully extended. Muscle-Ups are designed to be performed UB. If you cannot perform 7 UB without weight, try to get as large of a ME set as possible, but do not add load.
1a) 40# DBs
1b) 95#
1c) 95#
1d) green band

First time doing this variety of BB step-ups so I chose a weight I thought I could get through UB. Next time try 85-90.
