Diane and Hand-Stand Push-Ups
Diane is today’s Benchmark WOD, and it involves a movement that has many complexities and takes a long time to master – the Hand-Stand Push-up. The great thing about this movement, however, is the multiple ways it can be scaled! In videos below, Carl Paoli from gymnasticswod.com and San Francisco CrossFit discusses the different methods of scaling and appropriate positions and progressions that you’ll want to be aware of for your WOD today.
- Positioning for Parallette Hand-Stand Push-ups
- Kipping Hand-Stand Push-Up Progression

Take a few minutes to look over these videos and see what you can take with you in your practice!
