Quero aprimorar minha técnica para chegar no strict handstand Push up 

As rx’d, 4” deficit, 5:37.

Maybe the easiest CrossFit WOD I’ve ever done?  I mean this is my best movement, so there’s that.  Sets were 5-5-4-3-3-2-2-2-2-2.  Was hoping for sub-5, and maybe could have gotten there if I did triplets every 30 seconds.  Nice low pressure workout for today.

1 no rep (the first rep 😅) & maybe 3 Extra b/c I lost count of a set! I did exactly 30; or 3 extra! I didn’t short cut it, but I may have scaled up! 🤪

Upper body strength has never been my forte, but I wanted to give this a go as much as possible.  I kinda ignored the clock though and focused on the strictness of the movement as Chris S. suggested. Did it all in pairs, and even managed to get several without my heels touching the wall.  Thanks to Elijah for the mobility advice and all who shared in a slice of humble pie today.

30 strict to deficit? Maybe not. So ... warm-ups in many styles including parallettes to abmat, strict to mat, strict to ground, strict to slight deficit, honest push-ups, lots of stretching with bands = altogether maybe 30-40 assorted HSPUs?

THEN 30 strict to abmat, 1/2" lower than typical
3:34

Sub 10 push-ups on the minute for 10 minutes

After years of CF, thousands of push-ups, presses, jerks, handstands, and even dedicated HSPU work, real HSPU (strict) in any real numbers just elude me.  I built up to 7 unbroken about 5-6 years ago, but quickly lost it without the dedicated, near daily work. 

60/5’8”/155

Love to see people call out audibles. CrossFit needs to put out lots more videos like that to encourage peoples to scale instead of RX “everything” in the shittiest manner! 🤣

Rarely do I click on these links 30 Deficit HSPUs WOD Demo hell yes I want to see this! So here comes Elijah Schoepp, Physical Therapist, and coach (looks like a educated monster) let see this happen!  Yup, he got destroyed, just like I do!  Super awesome this is what I LOVE about Crossfit, sometimes your the pigeon sometimes your the statue. Keep it coming -Wil

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
My time spent coaching track really helps me coach workouts like this; at track practices I'd often get "is that all?" when I would say the workout of the day was 2 400-m runs with 5-minute recovery between. The answer to "how difficult is a 400-m run?" is "as difficult as you want to make it." When it comes to this workout, look at the word "strict" to be a challenge for your manhood, a challenge to your fitness and strength. My strict handstand push-up would look different than a CF Games athlete, and their "strict" would look different than a gymnast's "strict". I think the best bet on this one would be to lose the timer and see how strict you can make your movement standards. Next time DT or Diane or 1 RM overhead squats comes up, you'll be glad you did.

WORKOUT THEMES
Gymnastics, single modality, pushing overhead, more range of motion than usual, emphasis on strength over skill (although more skill than usual, because we're upside down). Also something that will humble even the fittest athletes.

I DON'T WANT TO JUST DO STRICT HSPU SCALE
3 rounds for time of:
4:00 handstand push-up practice
Run 800 meters

I WANT TO PRACTICE MY STRENGTH SCALE
Put 20 minutes on the clock and practice holding an active bottom position of the hspu (wall-facing if possible)

I WANT TO PRACTICE MY SKILL SCALE
Put 20 minutes on the clock and practice freestanding handstand push-ups

MY STUFF
9:00, did 30 strict wall-facing hspu. Humbled as expected.

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3

Crazy to see how Kelly's stuff is so commonplace in physical therapy now. All started with the first of many beatdowns. (Actually, before that, with the 2-minute drill CFJ videos). He'd probably have something to say about none of these being technically "joint" mobilities - although maybe the banded one at the end could count as distraction. Good to see you implementing these Elijah (and good fix on the external rotation at the end). Keep up the good work!
