Forget spending ages on complicated progressions. There’s a secret weapon that fast-tracked my journey: focusing on the specific muscles you need to own the handstand walk.
From all the progressions available, gymnastic strength training is the answer to unlocking this skill faster than you think.
I was stuck practicing handstand progressions until I started focusing on the muscles required to specifically walk with your hands.
Without further ado, this is the killer routine I crushed every single day for a month, and it totally unlocked the CrossFit handstand walk for me:
2 Rounds – rest between sets
- Wall kick in x 20 reps (10 each leg).
- Around the world x 5 laps.
- Hi-Lo plank x 10 reps.
- T-Stand with hinge and side bend x 10 reps.
4 Rounds – rest between sets
- Pike pulses x 15 reps.
- Inch-Worm pushup x 5 reps.
- Exit from the wall x 6 reps.
- Handstand shoulder taps chest to wall x 10 reps (5 each shoulder).
This routine will help you build a super strong core capable of sustaining your position upside down for long.
In my program, I teach you more strengthening workouts and principles that will allow you to unlock this skill in 8 weeks, like many of my students have.
Peace out 🤸🏼♀️,
