Kipping HSPU tips!

Hey team,

If you're starting to get into kipping hspu or are already doing them, chances are you're looking for ways to get better. In class, our coaches will come around and check on what you're doing, giving some important pointers for both safety and efficiency.

It does help to check out other resources prior to coming in though. This way you can check off the basics by yourself and then your coaches advice will take you that much further. Take a look a the video below that discusses 4 faults when people are working on kipping handstand pushups.

Coming in with a bit more preparation and knowledge goes a long way in CrossFit, and not just for handstand pushups. All of the skills we work on both inside and outside of wods are improved with practice (and practice of the right things!). So don't be afraid to check out official CrossFit.com instructional videos or other videos from proficient coaches to bump up your skill level.

See ya soon!
