Feel: Reach/Muscle / Pace: Gas

Moderate sets in the beginning are going to be the key to sustaining a good pace so you can push hard on the back half. It’s important not to bite off more than you can chew each set to ensure you don’t hit a sticking point. In the cashout, any handstand practice applies. Work on holds, walks, handstand push ups, headstands, etc. Get creative. In the flex, feel free to do more or less reps based off of your current fitness level.
