Hoping this is a sign that with a bit of work I’ll get a wide grip supported HSPU soon.

Ooh, thats cool!  Good luck!

—edit— I shouldn’t say, “Good luck!”  but instead, “Way to go!”  Luck has nothing to do with your hard work!

Stole this WOD from CF York Golden1:

5 Rds for time:

5 Push Press 105#
10 Bar Dips
15 Push Ups

14:28

Ha! TP—Addin’ weight to the girly bar since 2008 . . . .

So basically women use 45# bar, and so does TP

More or less . . . but don’t hold me to it.

80kg Deadlifts
HSPU progression - piked on a 24” box

The deadlifts were a slog and a struggle to maintain lumbar and (especially) thoracic extension, the HSPU were easy.
Hoping this is a sign that with a bit of work I’ll get a wide grip supported HSPU soon.

Nice!

Too much time riding a chair, agin. My spinal erectors have turned into jelly, again.

It’s so annoying when work hinders our workouts. 

wife and i have been on a tues, fri off days schedule.  if there have been a rest day when our schedule says workout, we’ve been doing the painstorm.  my ? is could one of you scale this month’s?  i know i could just catch up with what we rested with but this seems more… fun?  Painstorm follows with my suggested scale in [brackets]

Yes! Darn rude.

I tell you, if they weren’t paying me I wouldn’t turn up!

Thanks FD.

Well lately “hard work” has been sitting in front of a computer thinking about training, and some HSPU practise in hotel rooms in the mornings.
Although one motel did have a convenient brick wall I could practise handstands on. Surprising how few are considerate enough to leave wall space clear of doors and windows for this sort of thing. You’d think they have some sort of objection to people putting their feet up on the wall or something?

Thanks Vindi.
