Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ. Second stab at Strict Press this cycle.  Our focus is still good core stability, a solid base, and strong pressing.  Keep the feet about shoulder width, and lock the legs out (squeeze the butt to keep them from bending), keep the core tight, and press up hard! With the 3X5 week, our goal is to go heavier per round than we did in the 5X5 week

*400M Run BEFORE every round of Handstand Push Ups

Today, we look to accomplish more difficult bodyweight movements while under a cardio strain.  The 400M run won’t kill you, but can you still hit HSPUs and Toe2Bars while trying to catch your breath?  That will be your test today to push those thresholds!

Scaling Options:

HSPUs -> Pike Push Ups off box -> Pike push ups off the ground -> Seated DB press

T2B -> Kipping Knee Raise -> Laying Toe2Bar -> V-Ups

Run -> 500M row

Cool Down:

Thread the Needle Hold – 1 Min per side
