Coaching Tips
Strategy
- 1Maintain a steady pace on the Assault Bike to manage fatigue and transition effectively to handstand push-ups.
- 2During strict handstand push-ups, focus on a controlled descent and push through the shoulders to minimize fatigue and maintain form.
- 3Use the GHD sit-ups to engage your core thoroughly, ensuring to keep the back safe by avoiding overextending on the descent.
- 4Prioritize technique on the handstand walk; if you feel unstable, opt for smaller steps or rest before starting again to prevent falls.
- 5On the run, use a consistent breathing pattern to support endurance, and avoid sprinting too hard at the start of each round.

Ensure that strict handstand push-ups maintain a full range of motion to avoid shoulder injuries.
