Simple before and after mid-WOD correction. Justin lined up very far from the wall in the 1st round of the WOD for his handstand push-ups. Note how he resembles a bow up against the wall and is putting a large amount of stress on his back. By moving his hands closer he was in a safer position and closer to working on that hollow and press out. He also noted a big difference and how much easier it felt to finish those HSPU’s.
