Front squat strength block

Strength
Gymnastics

A strength bias session with some front squat waves, handstand strength work and an AMRAP finisher!

Reminders:
  • Ensure you fully warm up the front rack position before going heavy on the front squat.
  • In between your barbell warm up get your strict pull up work in and a handstand hold to get the shoulders ready for HSPU.
  • Try and use the biggest deficit you can on the strict HSPU.
  • On part 3 make sure you use a light enough weight so you can catch the hang snatch inthe bottom position.
  • If you don't have bar muscle ups then make sure you do chest to the bar pull ups.
  • If you don't have double unders then try and work on drills to practice them.
