Going Up

Jeff P

Jumping onto tall surfaces not only requires strong calf muscles, but quick hips to pull the feet high enough to land. Using momentum built from the arms helps too!

WOD

for 10 minutes:
30 second handstand
30 second rest

rest 3 minutes.

every minute on the minute for 7 minutes:
3 push press
6 box jumps
9 kettlebell swings

rest 10 minutes.

1/2 "ANNIE"

25-20-15-10-5 reps for time:
double unders
situps

Competitive weights for the push press would be 60/45kg, box jump should be 30/24"+, and swings at 32/24kg. Post results to comments!

Wrist preparation is not only a great warmup before heavy wrist use (handstands, barbell movements, etc), but great for prehabilitation/rehabilitation purposes. If your muscles are strong- that's one thing- but if the muscle, tendon, and ligaments are strong then there's no stopping you from movements like this.


Get used to our sequence and practice it in and out of the gym. There's no excuse for not practicing. Be better than yesterday!
