tight up top

Nick | 01/05/2016 | 2

It’s not uncommon for us to ask you to hold the top of your press for an extended time (as we will in today’s strength).  While this might seem cruel and unusual, it prepares us to find a stable position overhead when we need to do so quickly.  Like when we kip handstand push ups.  Which are coincidentally in the WOD.  We’re ideally scaling to part of our HSPU kipping progressions to not only get to practice this in context, but to not let the HSPU bog us down in the WOD.
