Mel's Notes: Back in 2012, I was doing the Hero workout "Blake” when I realized how there are so many different ways to challenge the overhead position.  Some months later, I needed to program a group WOD for some friends, and I had the idea to revisit something like Blake, but I wanted every movement to have an overhead element.

We start with handstand push-ups – a true test of overhead pressing strength.  Power snatch is stabilizing weight overhead.  Wall ball is a throw – which is similar to a press, but more explosive (and with lighter weight).  Finally, the overhead walking lunge is again a static hold, but now we will challenge the overhead position by putting the athlete in a lunge position.

The rep scheme here should allow the best athletes to move through this workout quickly, with minimal rest breaks.

There was a day when I considered Mr. Van to have some of the worst form in the gym. That day... is not today. Or any day for the last year or so. Dude moves really well.
