A CrossFitter's Guide to Pressing Gymnastics - E.400!
Episode 400 of the Misfit Podcast is here, and Drew and Paige celebrate the milestone by diving deep into one of the most misunderstood areas of CrossFit: pressing gymnastics. From wall walks and handstand push-ups to handstand walking, they break down the difference between chasing skills and actually building the strength, stability, and positioning required to sustain them in competition.
The conversation covers:
- Why GPP and pressing strength matter more than flashy skills
- Common faults in wall walks, kipping HSPU, strict HSPU, and handstand walking
- The role of mobility, midline stability, and isometric strength
- How elite athletes use positioning and efficiency to separate themselves
- Practical progressions and accessory work that actually move the needle
- Why gymnastics development takes years, not weeks
Whether you’re trying to get your first handstand push-up or refine high-level gymnastics under fatigue, this episode is a reminder that mastery comes from reps, patience, and attention to detail.
