I flipping love handstands. I love being able to do them again. I love working on one arm balances. I just love handstands.
Today, at crossfit, we did some mobility stuff for the shoulder, a little dynamic warm-up, and then 5x5 pullups, followed by handstand walks. This is the first time we measured how far I can walk, since I only do it when I'm screwing around mostly. I walked 21 feet, and that is good enough for me pre-workout.
The workout was 2 rounds for a min. each of thrusters, chest-to-bar pullups, and double unders, followed by one min. of rest (7 min.). I started out too heavy with the thrusters (at 95). Went down to 65 or 70 (I don't know because Coach Joe moved me to a doable weight after I cleaned the 95 twice, but couldn't thrust it. LOL. In my head, I was! All I can say is that it is a kickbutt workout and something different every day.
The best feeling is the post-workout chalk prints on my clothes and the hand-callousy feeling of hard work. Those things coupled with wobbly arms and legs makes it all the more better. It's the feeling of being alive again. Oh, yeah, and the walking handstands :)!
