+TheWise Owl practices alot on the hspu's, finally got to do several sets of 5. But with that tape, it's just one no rep after the other because i'm not close enough to the wall while doing them :(
I know, I suggest just putting people in a handstand position; hands shoulder width; body perpendicular to the ground with core engaged; feet together and pointing away from the wall; THAN tape 1 inch below heels.
Judges (even the normal ones) are terrible, the guy in black would have got none of those wall balls from me, hip crease was never clearly below the top of his knee.
I dont' understand how HQ thinks an HSPU should only count as long as the heel gets above a tape line. An HSPU should count once the shoulders and hips are locked out and you show control along the wall. It shouldn't be a contest on who has the most flexible heel. It's also ridiculous that you are going to have a standard for the HSPU be different in the Open then it is for Regionals or the games. HQ really needs to change this and I honestly thought they would after last years debacle!
+ghayes1983 The problem was you had short-armed guys spreading their hands out and they would literally only have to push an inch or two. They made the standard to try an combat that...but of course as with everything, you're never going to make everyone happy.
+Dan Spring lol. Boz is a better overall athlete. his wall balls is fine. Ro just rowed like a b*tch... Imagine if Boz had better taping on the hand stand pu
that erg form was lacking. Why do we as CF athletes typically row like it's our first time? My collegiate crew buddy hates on CF all the time for this reason. Step it up gentlemen!
Lol, these guys setting the movement standards and then not adhering to them or being judged correctly to them. Did HQ even try this workout with normal athletes?
+evgeny tikhonov haha, it's no like Sara's going to no-rep a fellow that's going to judge her later this year at the games ;) but honestly, those reps don't look bad to me, the camera angle doesn't let you see properly
Cloverfield happened at 12:35
And whoever does the tape line... *shaking my head.*
Think they need to change the whole tape line . . .
+Kirk Meyers AGREED!
+Kirk Meyers agree, its flawed

Definitely.... It doesn't work. And even both of these guys have lots reps that shouldn't have counted
12:33 is the funniest shit ever hahahahah
What does Castro say at the end? The first sentence is "when you see the footage you're gonna be very upset", but what follows?
I was trying to figure that out too! Watched it back a few times with my volume way up and still couldn't tell
Nice job guys
Fun to watch! Ha love these guys
Lol ro kicked the cam haha
Sara is super cute...
Boz had a shit load more no reps than Rory! box didn't ever get his heels over the tape for like 5 of them
Judges (even the normal ones) are terrible, the guy in black would have got none of those wall balls from me, hip crease was never clearly below the top of his knee.
Agreed
Almost all of Rory's first HSPU's were no reps. His feet didn't start above the tape. And he didn't even have to descend early!
Watching Boz trying to reach that botched tape line is making me so frustrated while I watch this in bed.

Patrick Piazza they tried to fix it with the box during the repeat but left the line
Wow! Can Boz finish out the sweep?!?!
Rory for the win on that wod. Questionable depth with Boz's wall balls. Good effort boys.

Top men!!!!

The tape line needs to be changed
i agree
I went out way to fast on the DL - My bad.
BOz wall balls need a relook. Didn't appear to be to standard.
Tomas Kaselionis he also started each set already in a squat
Lol, these guys setting the movement standards and then not adhering to them or being judged correctly to them. Did HQ even try this workout with normal athletes?
Boz wall ball hmmmmmm...
I felt BOZ's ball walls weren't that deep squats.
Bozman is a head judge, but most of his wallball were NR!! Be an example, at least do it right...
How about them squats Boz....
Boz doesn't squat deep enough, but still have "Bro" reps ))ahahha...head judge ))
+evgeny tikhonov haha, it's no like Sara's going to no-rep a fellow that's going to judge her later this year at the games ;)
but honestly, those reps don't look bad to me, the camera angle doesn't let you see properly
Half of boz WB were barely 90% on the legs...
+Mo Lind degrees?
For a good rep you would need to be past 90 degrees so the hip crease is past the knee
Tape line is a load of crap. Scrap it
i like the cartoon faces.... seems Rory got good plans but HSPU seems weak point
boz soo many no reps on the Wb! Sorry boz...
HSPU BS
rowing technique horrible. could have gotten through it a lot quicksd
shit looks painful
shit erg technique
