WOD 111008 Monday

5 Rounds of Max Reps of :

Handstand Pushups
Pullups 

There is no time component in this wod so take your time. This does not mean that you can come in the morning, do a few reps, go for lunch and then finish it in the evening.  Rest sufficiently in between the rounds to ensure that you have the right amount of energy to explode each set. Always maintain a strong core, keeping your abdomen tight at all times. While you are up on a handstand, you should feel the weight more towards your fingers rather than your palms. If it is the latter, then you would be more prone to falling backwards and out of the handstand. Besides that, if all the weight is on your palms and wrist continuously, your wrist would eventually be more prone to injuries. For those who are yet to do a handstand pushup, sub them for pike pushups. Keep your body in a strict L shape when doing pikes and always be alert of your safety. Do not hit your head on the floor. When you feel that blood is rushing towards your head too quickly, stop and rest. Do not compromise your safety for some extra reps. We care more for your form than the amount that is on the white board. 

Here is a favourite video of mine and my dream is to see all of us doing this together.
