Wall-balls . . . . . the bane of my existence . . . . that, and snatches.
Channel 6 just said to avoid strenuos activity, does FGB count as "strenuous activity".
It;s only 17 minutes how "strenuous" can it be ?? Afterwards you will have time to do the elliptical for 30 minutes!

Great job everyone! Congratulations on some big PRs, and awesome effort on a hot and muggy morning!
Seems to me Megs has it right. Plus once you start your heartrate almost never drops down to the "fat-burning zone." And you're taking a one minute break between rounds. So how bad can it be if you only lose a kilo or so of sweat?
the real question is if shawn wore his mouthguard?
Shawn was showing off for his friend...no mouthguard.
Question - what is the best way to improve your HSPUs? Are there any other moves/techniques to help? My range of motion sucks big time.
No mouth protection for me today. Don't worry---I will bring mouthguard back sometime soon.
Denise
Often the best answer is to do more HSPU. However, in your case, you need to start using some device to measure. I noticed that you did not have a gauge on how deep you were going (3 ab mats or whatever) so repeatability becomes impossible.
HSPU need shoulder strength and tricep strength more so than anything else. I would work more on shoulder press and planche pushups.
Denise: I haven't seen your HSPU but one thing a lot of people struggle with is keeping the body locked. To use an extreme example, think about how much harder it would be to push a cooked noodle straight up a wall than an uncooked noodle. obviously, the uncooked noodle slides more easily because it's rigid. it's the same with HSPU.
when you're upside down, you want to focus as much as you can on locking out your body. when you're standing on your feet, you're not slumped over, and the same is ideally true when you're upside down.
another mistake people often make is checking to make sure the floor is still there. it is. you can now safely look behind you, to where the wallballs live. that gives you less depth to chase.
there are lots of good videos out there on locking out your body during handstand holds. i am in a rush and can't dig them out now but also make sure you check gymnastics and yoga sites for tips.
looking at the wall balls is good unless you need to touch your nose.....
.com is on fire lately
couple notes:
Kristin T - HUGE PR -kudos! That Zone stuff must really be working :)
Denise - with a spotter you might also try to use some bands so you can feel what full ROM is...all the other Coaches notes are spot on too!
Nose to ground HSPU- anyone remember when Doug did these back at the "Trans-axel" box!!! WOWzers!
maybe mainsite is giving some Games previews?
i do believe they are megs. i will guess at least one wod that must be done strict.
kelly said to expect mu into hspu, ohs pistols, and strict workouts...he said that before this was posted. i think boz may talk in his sleep or something. lol. who knows
I had forgotten about Doug's nose to ground HSPUs - wowzer indeed!
That was fun.
"That" meaning this morning's Fight Gone Bad, not Doug's headplant.
i can touch my nose too...just saying. not 45 times though. :)
anyone want to lay money on swimming showing up this year?

Great job this morning, nice range of motion on all moves, my range of motion on the keyboard was inadvertently limited. I will give myself a DC on the posting.
