5 minutes Squats

Please hold questions and comments until Garddawg or BlueBugofJustice post the scaling, which usually includes links to exercise videos, common substitutions and other helpful information.
The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started.  CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them.  We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies.  If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.

So this workout scales itself.  Most everyone should be a Big Dawg today and tackle this WOD.

Puppies:
6 minutes Handstand push-ups
3 minutes Squats
2 minutes Pull-ups
1 minute Push-ups

If you cannot do Handstand push ups there are some scaling ideas here:

If you cannot do Pull ups there are some scaling ideas here:
Beginner and assisted pull ups.  Do not do Jumping Pull ups.

There is some disagreement among my friends on this one. How would you brand x folks define ideal HSPU ROM?

We’ve come down to two options:
  1) nose to ground, back a bit arched
  2) top of head to ground, hips and torso stacked directly above shoulders

in either case, is belly or back to wall better?

Ok quick question, in my warm up I have started to progress from HSPU bridged to knees on a bench to hooking my feet over the bar on a smith machine. Now for this wod would it be better to do the tougher of the progressions which will seriously limit the amount of HSPU I can do. or do the slightly easier progession and go for broke on the reps.. 

any suggestions.

Friday 29-JAN-10

(89)  10 minutes Handstand push-ups (bridged on toes)
(111)  5 minutes Squats
(24)  2 minutes Pull-ups (beginner)
(24)  1 minute Push-ups

89 / 111 / 24 / 24 = 248

Decided to have my once a week coffee before this workout (and nothing to eat) - not a good idea, just experienced my first ever exercise induced “Pukie”.

WOD 100129
- 10 minutes Handstand push-ups - 42
- 5 minutes Squats - 177
- 2 minutes Pull-ups - 37
- 1 minute Push-ups - 47
Total 303

Could have done better. Lost too much time recovering for reps that never happened because time was up. A timer you can look at without having to lose time would be useful for this WOD. Wrists were killing me on HSPU’s…

Ideal: hands on parallettes so you can go really deep.
Normal: hands flat on the ground, head to deck. Nose to deck forces your spine in a not so healthy shape. If you want to go deeper, you can always add some ROM by putting your hands on weight plates.
Back to wall allows for faster reset, other than than I can’t think of any pro or con. During warmup I would do both. In a timed WOD I’d choose the fastest one.
BTW: if a real trainer or big dawg post differently, you can forget all of the above.

HSPU is tough for anyone. Personally I’d go for a tough progression that allows you no more than 5 to 10 consecutive reps at the start of your WOD. Hope this helps.
