HSPU and You: Master the Movement

Whether you are building strength in the strict form or learning a kipping handstand push-up after acquiring the appropriate strength, remember that gymnastics is a process. Think of building mechanics, consistency, and then intensity as we are taught in CrossFit methodology, and be patient. Gymnastics is a long game in which patience is rewarded. ~ www.crossfit.com

Top Five Close Finishes at the CrossFit Games

5. Josh Bridges had the lead over Rich Froning in the final stretch of sled pulls in 2014’s Push Pull event, and he was not giving it up.

4. After a 280-ft handstand walk, it came down to a footrace for the win between Katrin Davidsdottir and Kari Pearce in 2016.

3. Mikko Salo led the pack in the 2009 Trail Run until Chris Spealler turned on the burners in the last bit of the race.

The Role of the Bench Press in Strength Training

Linking Toes-to-Bars

Performing this movement correctly requires the athletes to maintain the rhythmic back and forth pattern of flexion and extension that begins with the kip swing, for the duration of the movement.

Often, this rhythm is lost due to inefficiencies that occur during either the ascent or descent of the legs.
