A good burn workout, I don't know if that is what I got on the chinups, but I remember thinking it was lower than what I'd normally get.  The handstand pushups were done to a higher mat, and still fairly hard as the sets went on.

My legs are the right kind of sore, my upper back however, from all the cleans, is killing me.....freaking cleans being so awesome.

85sx8
95sx5

Weighted Wide Grip Pullups - 3x8.....30

work sets
175x6

Alternate Sets

I haven't done floor presses in, well I'm not even sure how long, but they were cool, I got 6 on the last set but it was assisted so I didn't count it.  The first set of the handstand pushups was too much of a deficit, I barely got 3, going off the bumper plates was a more appropriate challenge.  Good workout!!

Finally got back to three reps on the bench press with 225, next goal is 5 reps....hopefully that one doesn't take too long.  The incline bench was harder because of it, the handstand pushups however were very difficult, I haven't done them in ages and was pre-fatigued.

My CNS may need a break soon, but why not try another workout, going easy on the volume.

Handstand Pushups - 14, 10, 10

Hammer Strength Row (high to low) - 180x12, 10, 10

Tension Woodchops
25x10
30x10
35x10

Stairmaster - 60 Floors, un timed

Decent workout.  The stairs were done for 10 floors at a moderate pace, then another ten sped up for 3 sets, hence the 60 floors.  The last sped I went to speed 18, which is essentially running on the stairmaster, that really burned the legs.

It's hard to fight this urge to not squat, won't be able too much longer but again being overly cautious to me isn't a bad thing.  Today went for some strength.

Good workout, the HSPU and rows wasn't timed but moved at a decent pace, only the first round was unbroken.

I didn't think i'd have time to workout today, but a cancellation opened up some time, decided to do something boring yet random.

For time
50 Handstand Pushups
Time: 10:43

For time
70 Neutral Grip Pullups
Time: 11 something, on the lower end.

Pistol Squat practise.

The handstand pushups and pullups became many smaller sets, I more or less just started doing them without knowing a total number, it burned pretty good.  I have gotten much better at pistol squats because of my shoes but still can't do them without assistance, but boy was it close.  One of these days.
