Workout Description
Max distance Handstand Walk in 3 minutes.
Why This Workout Is Hard
A test of maximal distance in the handstand walk within a 3-minute window, requiring significant shoulder stability, balance, and endurance.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (7/10): Walking on hands for max distance in 3 minutes is a significant test of shoulder, triceps, upper back, and core isometric and dynamic stamina. Maintaining balance and propulsion for as long as possible is key.
- Strength (6/10): Requires good relative upper body strength to support and propel bodyweight while inverted. Core strength is paramount for stability and preventing breaks.
- Flexibility (5/10): Good shoulder and wrist flexibility is crucial for achieving and maintaining a stable, efficient handstand walking position. Thoracic mobility also helps.
- Speed (5/10): The goal is to cover maximal distance. This means efficient hand placement, minimizing breaks, and maintaining a consistent walking speed while inverted for 3 minutes.
- Endurance (3/10): Max distance handstand walk in 3 minutes. Low cardiovascular demand, primarily tests shoulder/core endurance and balance while inverted for a fixed time.
- Power (1/10): Not a power-focused test. Emphasizes controlled strength, balance, coordination, and specific muscular endurance for handstand locomotion over a timed period.
Modality Profile
A triplet with two gymnastics movements (Handstand Push-ups, Toes-to-bar) and one monostructural movement (Row). Gymnastics dominant.
