Pull Up Warm Up

WORKOUT

5 Min
Handstand Practice

Choose a method that will allow you to work to improve.

For this you will simply put 5 min on the clock and practice either kicking up into or holding a handstand.

This can be done against the wall or free standing.

If kicking up into a handstand for the first time - or if you are new to it - make sure to lock the elbows and practice just transferring your weight from your feet onto your hands. From there work your way into kicking higher and higher.

If you are against the wall you could do a tabata - 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off.

If you are doing a free standing method the goal should be to stay inside of like a 4x4 square.  Or within one of your mats.

Focus on looking at the heel of your hand - keeping the feet together - and keeping the belly tight.  Squeeze your cheeks!

Score is total rounds you were able to complete successfully

For the kip swing you will perform a hollow and arch on the bar pull and press. Hands and feet move together.  Move from the shoulder.

When you add the press down the focus is to bring the hips closer to the bar by pressing down and lifting the hips.  Use your lats/back and keep the arms straight.

On the next rep - after you press down, pull with the arms.

Finally on the last rep (Muscle Up) pull yourself through/over and think of doing a big sit up!

For the scaled version you will focus on strong kip swings and start trying to work on that press down.  On the 3rd rep go to a box or some way you can jump - pull to the hip and then do a Big Crunch over!

For the superman hold you will lay on the stomach - arms straight and feet straight - hold the small weight in the hands and lift hands and feet.  Squeeze the cheeks!!
