You’re almost there! It’s time to repeat the same test we performed at the start of this program. Remember to replicate the testing conditions (exercise variation, rest time, testing order) as closely as possible.
Pike push-up test
Note: there are no scores for this test as it is a scalable exercise. You will be the focusing on increasing the exercise intensity/difficulty by bringing your feet closer to your hands as you get stronger, rather than adding repetitions.
To perform the intermediate HSPU program, you need to be able to perform a freestanding handstand AND two CTW HSPU’s.
