The burpee handstand


Nick | 02/08/2017 | 2

Or handstand burpee? Either way, it’s not as bad as it sounds and might just be a little bit of fun!

One of the more overlooked aspects of inversions in CrossFit is the getting-in-and-out-of-it part.  Today, rather than working on balancing upside down or doing pushups in a handstand we’ll work specifically on the kick up.  Like most things, the more we’re exposed to the act of inverting and un-inverting, the more comfortable we’ll get with it and the easier we’ll be able to call on it when we need it.

    Strength: 105#
    WoD: 21:56. 1.25 pd; attempted burpee handstands; & the consistency of DUs by and large fell apart after round 2.
    Also found out what the noon class was all about on this snow day!
