The real stuff:

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
And so on down to 1-15.

Really scaled down wimp workout that I could manage:

Sub regular pushups for HSPU (well, for the first two sets, then down on one knee for two sets, and both knees for the rest,) then body rows for the L-pull-ups. Still toasted my arms. Right now I’d like a speech-to-text synthesizer to spare me from all this typing. Time 18:50

The body rows gave me a chance to try out my new toy. I played around with it a bit warming up with elevated push ups, assisted one-legged squats and (attempts) at dips. It does most everything that rings can do, and then some. I think I’ll be using it a lot.

At the end I just want to mention this post by forts. I know I’m a little late mentioning it, but I found it very well written, and in tune with my own sentiments. In that vein I’d like to point all five of my readers towards Kiva.org, every little effort helps no matter how small.
