Onward CrossFit Soldiers

It’s like a kipping pull up but upside down.  That is to say go kick up into a hand stand, lower your head all the way to the floor now as you start to push yourself up off the floor, kick violently upwards with both legs.  Theoretically this should help you return to your starting hand stand position (with your elbows locked).  Sound insane?  Maybe it is.

The first few dozen times (or hundred) you try it, it’s bound to send you off at some crazy angle or perhaps do nothing at all except make you look ridiculous.  Such is the way of skill development.

But wait… is it “legal” to kip for a handstand push up?  In this WOD it is.  Should it always be?  Nope.  Life is variance.  Adapt.
