Dismal failure

Man, I don't know WHAT went wrong this morning, but it was a train wreck. We had plans for the evening (more on that later), so I decided to try and knock out the WOD in the morning before work at home.

Complete as many rounds as you can in twenty minutes of:
5 Handstand Push-ups
10 L Pull-ups
15 Steps, Walking Lunge

THREE FUCKING ROUNDS

It was bad from the get-go. While warming up, I couldn't even squat without falling over. Everything was tight and sore, and I had a nasty headache every time I bent over (the HSPU's were a joy). Maybe it was the cold, maybe it was too early in the morning and my body was just too tight, I don't know. But nothing was working, and when the phone rang 16 minutes in, I basically said "fuck it" and picked up the phone. Chalk this one up as one that got away.

This ladder goes both ways

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

35:56, not at all RX
(Pull-ups were all legitimate deadhangs of some sort. Some were L. Most were very oblique L's. The last few were more like N's, h's and, eventually, I's. HSPU's were piked off the tall box.)

Shoulders, elbows, biceps and forearms are all wasted from this one. This was one of the first workouts I did when I started Crossfit, and I remember how brutal it was then. Back then I could only do jumping negatives, so it's nice to know that I knocked out 64 deadhangs in half an hour, but my HSPUs still suck, probably about as much as they did back then.

HSPUs and LPUs

Time: ~30:00

Wow, this was hard. I got to do it at home, which was really nice. HSPU's were bridged feet off the bed, and the majority of the pullups were jumping negatives. I was able to do 3 consecutive L-pullups, but that was my limit, and my angle was more oblique than I'd like.
