Upside down!

Had a cold today...stuffy nose and slight headache, not the best condition to be upside down, oh well!

Today's WOD for time:
15 Handstand push-ups 1 L Pull-up
13 Handstand push-ups 3 L Pull-ups
11 Handstand push-ups 5 L Pull-ups
9 Handstand push-ups 7 L Pull-ups
7 Handstand push-ups 9 L Pull-ups
5 Handstand push-ups 11 L Pull-ups
3 Handstand push-ups 13 L Pull-ups
1 Handstand push-up 15 L Pull-ups

All pushups were done as as HSPU using bands for assistance. I used parallettes for first 3 sets (39 pushups) and got greater range of motion. I did L pullups through the round of 7 pull-ups, strict pullups the next round, then used the bands for assistance for the last 3 sets. No kipping pullups done.

Very good shoulder workout. It felt good to be able to do the HSPU with the correct form, as opposed to doing a decline push-up like I would have done before using the bands. Nice investment!

Day 21 - YTD burpees 231
