COACHES NOTES
If you have never been inverted before - start with the pike on the box. These are NOT easy!!

No matter which version you choose - remember the goal is to make a tripod with your 2 hands and head. Your hands should be about 6" or so away from the wall when you kick up. When you come down your head should be closer to the wall than your hands - NOT right in between them. Think of where your hands would be if you were doing either dumbbell or barbell push press and try to mimic that.

If you are kipping bring your knees all of the way to your elbows at the bottom. Kick out and around. Finish the kick before you press.

Drive your head through your arms at the top. Keep the belly tight.

DO NOT under any circumstances come down FAST. Show control on the descent.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

Handstand Walk:

Shorten the distance and/or cap it at 3 minutes.

Shoulder taps from the handstand position against the wall.

Pike shoulder taps with feet up on a box and torso as vertical as possible.


Pistol Squats:

Go to a target or hold on to something.

Standing on a box, so your floating leg is off to the side and can drop lower without hitting the floor.


Push Ups:

Go from the knees or elevate your hands. 75 is a lot so choose a variation that you could do at least 20 unbroken when fresh but consider breaking it up into sets of 5 with short breaks between.


Dips:

You can do the dips on the rings, between two boxes or using a dip station. Use a band for assistance but avoid the bounce out of the bottom.

You could also do the slow lower to the bottom, then jump back up to the support position at the top.

Another great option is the toe assist, where the toes on one or both feet stay in contact with the floor to provide just a little bit of assistance pressing up out of the bottom.
