Hold the weight in a stable overhead position for a full 1 count before lowering the weight. For the bent lateral raises, focus on retracting the shoulder blades. Next week, we will begin bench pressing as well.

3 Minutes Max Handstand Hold

Notes: Score each round separately. L-sit and handstand are cumulative. We will be retesting your capacity in each of these movements in 8 weeks. Give each your best, take note of your standards/scaling, and see how much you improve! If you cannot perform pistol squats, scale to using heel raise, band across rack, or whatever you need to get reps in. You may scale ring dips to a box with dumbbells, parallel bars (at venice), or bench dips. If you cannot perform an L-sit on parallettes, perform a tuck sit, or seated pike leg raise hold. If you cannot perform handstand, either max hold in feet elevated pike position or plank on hands.
