Today I did back to back WODs with the first being the Handstand Pushup (HSPU) and Pullups. The way that was done was 30 HSPU, 20 Pull-ups, 20 HSPU, 20 Pull-ups, 10 HSPU 30 Pull-ups. It was scaled and I did the HSPU with the use of the Smith machine horizontal bar and for pull-ups, they were assisted, with the emphasis on the negatives. The total time on that was 11:55.
After a brief rest, I did the next day’s posted workout of Overhead Squats. One little thing out of proper position, and down it all comes which is what happened on the 7th lift.
Here are the numbers: 45/65/75/85/95/105/115 (f)/110 pr/45×5/45×5.
One the lift that missed, I let the curve out of my lower back and that is all it took for the lift to fail just before getting out of the squat. I love this lift because of its difficulty and it’s effect on the core. I should do more. I think the key is really stay lighter but with good form.

1Hey, a twofer, and a pretty rough twofer. I have to face those OH squats on Monday. I feel the same way about them as you do, I know they are good for me; they are great about giving form feedback, and yet I find myself not doing more of them.
As for your HSPU and pull up time, that is a nice quick time. As for scaling on the pull-ups, if you could do kippers, your time would be even faster. My time is limited by those damn HSPUs.
Hey, did you notice that someone is sponsoring the first CrossFit competition, for both individuals and affiliate teams? I may have to do that.

2That has your name written all over it. Think it’s good idea.
