Good workout today, was in the mood for 2 more timed things.  The first one was one from the crossfit website posted for today, handstand pushups are a weakness of mine, so why not do a routine that totals 84 of them, ouch.  I predicted the first one would be slow.

Good workout, the first part was tough, 84 total pullups isn't exactly easy, especially when done strict, but I have done that kind of thing before, it's hard but I know what to expect.  84 total handstand pushups however is far more than the most I have ever done in a workout, I believe 55 was the most prior and that was a while ago.  It was definately harder than the pullups, and to avoid doing singles I had to rest longer than I normally would, by the end my shoulders were simply fried, I'll want to increase that time big time for when I decide to do this again.  I briefly checked the crossfit board times, and most did beat me but a lot of them scale this workout and use pike pushups or shoulder presses instead.  The second part was actually kind of fun, still using the clean grip, but pairing burpees with squatting movements certainly isn't easy my legs hurt.  Both the front squats and back squats were hamstring to calf.
