If your handstand kick-up looks more like a Superman dive, this might be why you’re struggling to get your legs stacked over your hands.

A lot of athletes kick up by throwing their chest forward and reaching out, which sends the legs travelling behind them instead of up into a strong, stacked position.

In this clip from my Handstand Walk Seminar, Coach Nelson breaks down what he sees athletes doing and what we want to do instead.

Want to improve your handstand walk? Watch the full seminar for more drills, cues and common faults to help you build a more consistent handstand walk.

The first two days of the Masters CrossFit Games have delivered.

A few highlights from the first two days:
• Rose Wall goes into today’s final events in the lead.
• Terry Carey sits in 2nd place with a 90-point cushion over 3rd.
• The programming has been a fantastic test of fitness—challenging, varied and really well scaled across the age divisions.

Today is the final day for our Masters athletes, and we’ll also be cheering on Team Reykjavík as the team competition gets underway. Tomorrow, our Adaptive athletes take to the competition floor.

If you’re at the Masters Games, make sure you stop by the WODprep booth:
• Get some live skill coaching with Ben (it’s your last chance!)
• Catch one of our live podcasts.
• And if you’re wondering... Ben is already 64 bar muscle-ups into the week from demos alone. Place your bets on where he’ll finish by the end of the Games.

One last thing...

We’re currently accepting applications for the biggest giveaway in WODprep history—a $7,500+ 1-on-1 Coaching Scholarship.

If you’ve got a big CrossFit goal and you’re ready to put the work in, this could be for you.

The results speak for themselves.

I’m super proud of my 1:1 coaches for leading their athletes to these impressive placings in Quarterfinals. I’m even more proud of our athletes who put their trust in us and get their heads down, week in, week out. You all absolutely crushed it and it’s been a pleasure to be part of that.

Would you like to join our roster of 1:1 athletes and have the full support of your own dedicated coach? Comment “COACH ME” below and let’s chat.

Or…

If 1:1 coaching isn’t for you, you can get access to these same world class coaches by joining WODprep Academy. It’s not personalized like our 1:1 coaching, but I promise you’ll still see incredible results with everything you need to become an Rx athlete. (Programming, courses, live calls, coach feedback… and so much more!)

Comment “WPA” to see if it’s a good fit for you. Be quick though - the price actually goes up tomorrow because we’ve added even more value this month! by @nelson.slade

Also stoked to use my @getwodr bottle. If you ever see me at the gym, I normally use 3 different bottles, so having a bottle that can hold my protein, electrolytes, and even chalk (shout out secret compartment) is a game changer!!

Jennifer came to us with a problem I see all the time.

She wanted to improve—but she was stuck trying to juggle classes, competition programming, and patching her own skill gaps… all at once. No clear focus. No outside perspective. And a lot of second-guessing mid-workout.

Working 1-on-1 with Coach Nelson changed that.

Instead of avoiding her weaknesses, she stayed consistent with them—even when they weren’t fun. And just as important, she started getting the best results possible in workouts with better pacing decisions.

That’s the value of coaching—not just programming, but strategy, mindset, and having someone whose job it is to see what you can’t see for yourself.

Amazing job at Legends Jennifer - you trusted Nelson and absolutely crushed your workouts! So proud of you.

If you’re serious about improving but tired of trying to figure it all out alone, this is what 1-on-1 coaching is for. Comment “COACH ME” below and let’s see if it’s right for you! by @nelson.slade
