Kettlebell Swing to Handstand

Got this idea off the Crossfit website: two handed kettlebell swing to arms fully over head. With all the handstands I've been doing I got thinking of this as a swing to handstand.Loved it the first rep I did with it. Very different arc than the regular swing, and very comfortable for me.


one kb full swing
36x10x2
44x8 this is one big arc!
53x8x8 man this is very very interesting. the bell stays higher in the crotch on the down swing and the acscent is very different than normal.


Two KB front squat
2-36'sx5
2-44'sx5
2-53x3
x4
x5 paused last rep of each set. these were solid.

handstand pushups
7 sets of 2 reps ( with sets of 3 reps on set4 and 5)
these were as solid as I've been. head about 2-3 inches off floor, no spot.

16 total reps. balance feels solid.

hanging leg raises
5x12 ( leading with left leg)

very pumped about the new kettlebell move as well as how solid the handstand pushups were.
