"Sanity is a madness put to good use."
--George Santayana--

APK Warm-Up

Workout: Handstand and Front Lever conditioning:

Choose 2-3 movements for each skill, varying from high-tension harder movements, to slightly easier volume related movements. Perform each as a straight set, resting 2:00-3:00 between efforts of the harder movements, and perhaps 1:30 between the higher-volume movements.

Finish all of your chosen handstand skills before moving to the lever work. Some ideas for progressions:

Handstand holds

Handstand lowering: Split, bent knee, pike

Hanstand Presses: Split, bent knee, pike

Presses from L or V position

Jump to inversion

Pike or tucked pull to inversion

Lever lowering: tucked, split, pike

A sample template might look like this:

Hard handstand movement; 3 sets of 1 or 2 attempts, 2:30 rest.

Moderate handstand movement; 4 sets of 4 attempts, 2:00 rest.

Hard Lever movement: 4 sets of 1 or 2 attempts, 3:00 rest.

Moderate Lever movement: 5 sets of 3 attempts, 1:30 rest.


Post the progressions chosen, results, and any questions about substitutions to comments.

The video is almost completely uploaded, so if you get an error wait a minute or two and try again.

I got to work them a lot with the broken foot ;) 
 
...one thing I noticed on the video (after being told the same thing by emmie) is that I've over-corrected my previously over-arched position by piking a bit at the hips, perhaps going overly-hollow. Part of that is probably also the height of the parallel bars messing with me :p 
 
That's one thing that I love about these skills; the fact that you will basically always have something else to work towards perfecting in them!

My arms D: Man that was a good workout. I did pretty much what was in the video, except on bars instead of rings. And on the ground instead of on parallel bars. And minus the presses.
