21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of:
Back extensions (supermans)
Butterfly sit-ups
Weighted Squat (weights on the shoulders)

Post time to comments and then practice handstands for 10 minutes, focusing on controlled descents.

*new tip: when doing supermans, instead of just lifting extended legs off the ground, curl your heals back towards your butt as you are lifting for a rounder booty! 🙂

  1. 10:00 is a long time for me. I was holding standup against wall then descending and back up. My poor wrists lasted 8 minutes.

    I love the practice!!

  2. 12:01
    45# front squats (I only have a bar…no dumbbells)
    No time for handstands 🙁

  3. Tried handstands using wall. My first time using wall. Body was straight but on an angle. Only could last a few seconds at a time. Only did 2min but it's a starting point!

  4. 10:59
    Used 40lb sandbag for squats
    Haven't really done handstands in a VERY long time, so I worked for about 4 minutes on just getting up and holding it by the wall

  5. 10:45
    Thanks for the tip, could always use help with the booty!

  6. 12:42
    35#- went lighter & slower- lower back has been giving me problems
    Arms crossed on bsu
    Held longest handstand for 15-20 sec- against wall. (Spent about 4 min on practice)

    I love the idea of throwing some practice time in- we all mean too but if its written we're more likely to do it 🙂

    I did the deadlift/situp workout Sunday and am STILL sore as HELL! What the heck? Those back extensions about killed me.

    1. I could barely walk all weekend from the workout! Good feeling to know its working, but OUCH!

  13. 15:35

    I LOVED the descending numbers! Much easier for me to push through the end to do 3, rather than 90. Ha ha!
