THE WORK

• 5 rounds
  • 2-4 Tempo Pause Parallette HSPU
  • 10-12 Barbell Z-Press

THE FOCUS

Focus on your body shape throughout the movement. Tight hollow body - squeeze your glutes - feet together.

THE NOTES

Tempo Pause Parallette HSPU

Start in a HS, belly facing the wall, hollow body, tight glutes. Slowly descend maintaining your body shape until your head touches the bottom. Pause for 1 second (but don't lose tension). Press back up to handstand while holding your hollow shape!

Scaling - Stack ab mats below the parallettes up to the height where you are able to perform the reps as described.

Barbell Z-Press

Sit on the floor in a pike, feet together, legs straight and tight. Hold an empty barbell in front rack, and perform 10-12 strict presses. Pause for 1 second at the top to emphasize the lockout. Keep your triceps and anterior core tight. You may add weight to the barbell, but keep it on the lighter side.
