Buy In: 3 Sets of 10 Good mornings @ light/moderate weight - Rest as needed between sets, you may use different weight for each set or stay at one set weight

See video below, but go much slower than this guy- 3 count down, 3 count up. For the purposes of today, go slowly, use light weight, get comfortable with the movement. You should feel these in your hamstrings and glutes. **Super important: maintain your lumbar curve. If you begin to lose your lumbar curve, don't bring your torso all the way down to parallel to the ground. Better to maintain your curve and have less range of motion.

Good mornings:

7 sets of 5 reps Overhead Squats @ 65% of your 1 rep max (1RM)

 *If you don't know what your 1RM, pick a weight that you can complete sets of 5 for all 7 sets, that is a little challenging towards the last sets. If they are super easy, add weight. If you are getting close to failure, drop weight. 65% should be manageable for sets of 5. Don't worry, we will be testing in a few weeks for an OHS 1 rep max.

Rest at least 5 minutes

Monday, October 14th, 2013

Not sure if Halsey is closed for the holiday, so this is a WOD we can do outside. 

Buy-in: Tabata (8 rounds of 20 seconds work and 10 seconds rest) Handstand holds

*Focus on ACTIVE SHOULDERS and keeping a TIGHT CORE. Think about trying to shrug your shoulders as close to your ears as possible. If you feel uncomfortable upside down, try looking "up" with your eyes at the floor (but make sure to keep your ears between your arms). Only rest your heels on the wall while keeping your entire torso extremely straight (this can only happen by keeping a SUPER tight core). Don't get lazy in the last sets and relax your shoulders or core.

**Goal: do NOT slam into the wall. Only kick up with enough force to gently rest your feet against the wall. This should be completely silent. Yes, it takes practice, but its invaluable for handstand progressions.

***This is primarily for shoulder stabilization. If you can't do a handstand against the wall, try walking your feet up the wall as high as you can while balancing on your hands and hold it for the remainder of the 20 seconds. OR practice trying to kick up into a handstand for 20 seconds.

Rest at least 5 minutes
