This program is designed for athletes working toward strict pull-ups, toes-to-bar, and strict handstand push-ups.

These movements are the foundation of CrossFit gymnastics. When you improve your strict pulling, pressing, and core strength, every other gymnastics skill improves too.

There are two tracks included:
• One for athletes working toward their first strict rep
• One for athletes building capacity and consistency

Because this program lives in the app forever, you can:
• Run it once to get your first reps
• Run it again to build multiple reps and confidence

10 MIN EMOM :15 Push-Ups* :15 Second Transition :15 Seconds DB Z-Press :15 Second Transition *Choose a push-up varition that allows you to work for the entire :15 seconds. That can be strict HSPU into Kipping, kipping hspu, box pike hspus, or a regular push-up ------------------------------ Coaches Notes ------------------------------ It is important to move in one piece in your push-ups. Don't allow your back to arch. If you are unable to do RX push-ups or you aren't able to keep your core from collapsing I want you to modify so that you are building up your core strength. Dropping to your knees doesn't use the core strength we need so make sure to choose an option before that keeps you in a full plank position while allowing you to go through full range of motion. Building your core will help translate through to strong handstand push-ups, and strong weightlifting movements. ------------------------------ Push-up Modifications ------------------------------ 👉🏻Chest elevated push-ups - Make note of the height you use so you can slowly lower the height 👉🏻Push-ups w/band around arms 👉🏻Band Assisted Push-up
