The new goal board is up and many of you have posted on it, but some of you haven’t. For those of you who have, you will come in, warm-up, and then spend some time working towards achieving those goals. If it’s a muscle-up, then head for the rings. Double-unders? Grab a rope. Whatever it is, the coaches will be around to help with technique suggestions, form corrections or a stiff kick in the rear if needed. Those of you who have not written a goal up there yet can go sit in the corner and watch everyone else hard at work (bad idea), or go post a goal when you come in and start working towards accomplishing it (great idea).
Having trouble coming up with a goal? How about completing your first Fight Gone Bad this September 25th? Three, 5-minute rounds of fun pain, all for a great cause. Click on the register button now and make it happen!

Freestanding handstand pushup. Chad was helping me with it this morning but I was mostly falling flat on my back.

Here is some info from the site about using a self-spotted HSPU:
The self-spotted HSPU was introduced to me by the CrossFit community and is an excellent option for practicing HSPU. Using a bar or stacked mats that are just under shoulder height, kick up to the handstand so that your heels can hook the support. You can then use your legs to help balance and lift the HSPU, which makes this exercise a glute and hamstring exercise in addition to training the HSPU.
