Deadlifts and Handstand Push Ups – The stuff I was made for


Yes, one of the CrossFit Girls showed up today. Diane made another appearance. She’s one tough chick but for the most part, I like her because it is shoulders and upper body. Which anyone that takes a look at me can tell — this is the stuff I was made for. I wasn’t born with these broad shoulders and back for nothing.

This is actually almost 1m better than last time I did Diane. I also used one Ab Mat for the HSPU. I also did something to my elbow. It sort of cramped up while I was practicing hand stands. It wasn’t bad enough to stop but it does hurt. My hand blisters are healing up but it was a bit uncomfy to grab the bar for the DLs today. So I had to grab it each time and adjust my palm so it didn’t push/pull it. That did slow me down a bit. Oh, age is catching up to me I guess. HA!
