Shoulder/Elbow/Wrist Prep


A fun drill that requires the hand balancer to push up against a force- it helps align all parts of the body into the proper "stack".

----

WOD

for 10 minutes:
30-second handstand
30-second rest

then

max reps in 2 minutes:
- slam ball, 20/10#
- box jumps, 24/18"
- broad jumps, 6/4'

compare handstands to 29MAR2011.

Post results to comments!

Handstands getting more stable, but can't do full 30sec yet. I should have tried much faster on box jump. 110rx.
