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. Compare to 5-16-07
