Definition

An inverted pressing movement performed from a handstand position. This is a skill-dominant gymnastics-style movement used in CrossFit. Efficient performance depends on positional control, shoulder and trunk capacity, grip and progression of technique; speed or volume should not replace mastery of the prerequisite positions.

Practical use

Build the strict or foundational positions first, then add kipping, speed or higher volume only when the athlete can maintain the required standard.
