Athlete Training Notes
We’re starting the day off with a lot of handstand skill work. Whether you’re someone that is proficient at them or still learning, we’re never too good to go back to the basics. Really focus during the technique sessions. Try to perfect your hand placement every time you go upside down. Feel what it’s like when you’re shifting your body from hand to hand. Don’t just go through the motions. It’s not sexy. We get it. BUT, if you focus on these and actually dedicate the time to the skill then you’ll be improving your capacity to do so in conditoining pieces in no time. Speaking of conditioning pieces, did someone order another 40 minute EMOM? Station 1 today should be about 50 seconds of work. Station 2 we’re looking for about 30-45 seconds of work between the double unders and muscle ups. After that you’re going to have to move quickly on the farmer and sandbag carries. If you walk slow you’ll be cutting it close. You shouldn’t have to run with the weight, but no one is stopping you from doing so! Our last working station is another double under skill matchup. This one will likely take around 45-60 seconds to complete depending on how aggressive you are with the handstand walks. After that you get a full 60 second rest then it’s time to do it all over again. At least there’s only one machine today!
