Today we went after a wod that originated from the "Great Basin" regional qualifier. It was 5 rounds for time of:
-7 deadlifts, 275#
-30 air squats
-7 handstand push-ups
time=8:10
The deadlifts and squats were a surprisingly brutal combination. And, it goes without saying, the handstand push-ups were horrid. I'm not to the point where I can do a full range of motion hspu so I modified them with my feet up on a plyo box, body in the pike position. They were pretty easy and in hindsight, I should have done limited range hspu in an actual handstand. Next time.
After the wod, I decided to spend some time on my hands for some extra work. I put a bumper plate and an abmat under my head which equated to about 1/3 to half range of motion hspu's. They were rough. Over about 5 minutes time, I made it through 13 of them, til my shoulders were done. Then followed it up with 25 ring dips and 25 ring push-ups. It was a good day of work. I will continue to spend as much time on my hands as possible. Hopefully, a full range hspu isn't far off. Stay tuned.
