Assistance

Handstand push-ups (HSPU) are very difficult to master! And, the full range of motion is very hard to train while building up the strength, midline stability and balance to do them. Patrick of CrossFit Virginia Beach recently introduced us to a way of using long rubber bands to assist in the HSPU. They provide the perfect amount of resistance for learning this movement.
