Ring Hand Stand Pushups

Videos courtesy of Gymnastics WOD.   In this series, Coach Carl Paoli breaks how to Tuck Up to Handstand on the Rings and different ways to wrap your legs on the straps quickly and securely.

In this first video, Carl demonstrates how to tuck up, straddle up, and then wrap your legs around the straps. Instead of using Rings, the first progressions is to practice this movement with weights anchoring the straps to mimic the rings, but with more stability in your base.

Once you’ve mastered getting inverted on the rings with the Tuck Up to Rings Progressions, it’s time to move onto the next step to get your Handstand Push Up with Coach Carl in this progression series.

In this video, Carl demonstrates how to use the straps as assistance for your Handstand Push Up by using the weight plates again as a static base. Carl also breaks down the Handstand Push Up movement with both types of leg wrap around the straps. Keep practicing this on the plates until you’re confident with the Tuck Up to wrap and are able to push up out of the hole in a controlled fashion into a stable handstand.

In this video, Carl demonstrates how to perform the Handstand Push Up on the rings with the band as an assistance as well as still using the leg wraps he had practiced on the weight plates. Carl again breaks down the Handstand Push Up movement with both types of leg wrap around the straps and strategies to use the straps as an assistance.

Channeling the power of the hip can be tricky when it comes to the muscle-up.

“I think that most people understand you’ve got to have a good amount of pulling strength, full range, and a deep dip with a great amount of dipping strength. I think getting the hip involved to learn the kipping muscle-up is a little bit more complicated,” says gymnast and CrossFit Santa Cruz coach Laurie Galassi.

To help athletes understand how to get the hips involved, she has them lie on their backs, pull their knees into their chests and then explosively open their hips with their butts as high as possible.

“Imagine if you could freeze your hip at the height it’s at right now and sit yourself up over your hip—kind of like a reverse Slinky going up the stairs,” Galassi explains.

The next drill has a couple of prerequisite skills: an ability to hold yourself at the bottom of a ring dip and to stabilize yourself at the top.

“We’re going to take the explosive hip opening and put it on the rings,” Galassi says. “The goal is to activate that hip and get a boost out of it.”

So, as you can see on the map, we have a mile and a half path for you.  We’ll start outside of the Warrior PT tent, go right, turn left at the stop sign, take a left after the DV quarters, turn right onto Bong, go down until you hit Marauder, then turn around and come back.

Video courtesy of Gymnastics WOD.  This video came out back in 2012 for the CrossFit Open 12.1 WOD.  Watch the first 8 minutes to get some good prep points for being as efficient as possible for the burpees.  Face it, you’ll be coming into the burpees a bit tired, so let technique trump trying to go super fast.
