“Diane“
21-15-9 reps of:
225 pound Deadlift
Handstand push-ups
Scaling for handstand push-ups can be any version of box handstand pushups, abMats under head, or dumbell presses. Whatever you do, it better be hard if you want to get stronger (think 3-5 reps before resting). It is better to go heavier with the deadlift than faster. Choose a weight which you can handle for all 45 reps, and move at a pace which allows you to maintain technique.
If you are capable of doing this workout fast, then take a long warm-up to prime the nervous system.
Post what time you plan on coming to the gym to comments.

I’m planning on training at 8:30 AM.
I am planning on being there at 8:00 AM
depending on how the night goes at work i’m going to try and join you B.
8 a.m. sounds good to me, I will be there with William.
9 or so…
….that way i can scope out skrypnyk’s time…..
12:26 Rx’d. I had said it was a 10:00 improvement, but found that I had done it in between that attempt. This turned out to be a 2:30 improvement. Still better, but man those HSPUs were tough again! Deadlifts were all unbroken and pretty easy.
Okay… couple more things:
a. Where was Skrypnyk?
b. Realized that last time I did HSPUs to an Abmat. So even though this time the HSPUs were probably just as slow, at least they were about 2″ longer.
11:16 using 135# for deadlift. HSPU head to floor no abmat. Deadlifts felt terrible, for a while there I was doing 3′s, but the HSPU were pretty good once I found the right positioning and rhythm for the kip, doing about 6 to 8 at a time. Wish I coulda done it with y’all.
1. dont want to talk about it. . . . Not good
2. 2:30 huge improvment, nice brendan
Wow! Nice work Tania!
Thanks Cameron… maybe we’ll see you tomorrow?
btw…. Cameron, it’s kinda freaky how much your avatar looks like you… especially considering its like kinda random….
150# deadlifts felt pretty good…rpe bout 7.5… As per T’s suggestion…can’t wait to try HSPU with 2 abmats
