Workout Description

Maximum number of handstand push-ups completed in 2 minutes.

Why This Workout Is Hard

Tests upper body pressing endurance and capacity within a fixed time domain.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (8/10): A significant test of upper body pushing stamina (shoulders, triceps, chest) and core stability to perform max HSPUs in a 2-minute window. Ability to recover quickly between reps or short sets is key.
  • Strength (6/10): Requires significant relative upper body pressing strength. The 2-minute test measures how many times this strength can be expressed under fatigue.
  • Speed (5/10): Cycling reps efficiently and quickly, while maintaining standards, is important for maximizing the score in a 2-minute test. Minimizing rest between reps/sets.
  • Endurance (4/10): Moderate cardiovascular demand due to the intensity of effort over 2 minutes. Primarily tests localized muscular endurance in pressing muscles.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Good shoulder and wrist flexibility is important for achieving a full range of motion and maintaining a stable position against the wall for repeated reps.
  • Power (4/10): If kipping is allowed (standard for CrossFit unless 'strict' is stated), then a powerful kip contributes to efficiency and higher reps within the time limit.

Modality Profile

A test of gymnastics pressing strength and endurance, whether strict or kipping.
