OTM for 6min:
Life: 2 Wall Walks or Pick a # of HSPU-Negatives and repeat it OTM. Keep it clean.
Sport: Pick # of HSPU and work on meeting the Open standard. Keep the sets small, clean, and repeatable
*Don’t overdo the OTM, becasue the WOD has a TON of HSPU. Consider working on deficit HSPU, or strict HSPU, or somehow improve your existing kipping technique.
