I wish. I forsee a lot of glute ham raises in future workouts since that hamstring incident.
9/7
pushups 2 x 50
How’s the hammie feel after yesterday’s session? Push-ups…now there is something I need to work back into the routine…
OG it bothered me a few hours after yesterday’s workout. I think I overdid the glute ham raises, which I want have as my new best friend. Today it’s back to normal.

glute ham raises 3 x 20
good mornings 3 x 10 @ bar, 95, 115
deadlifts 2 x 10 @ 135, 225, 3 x 5 @ 265, 1 x 3 @ 245
Injured hamstring was noticeable at last 265 rep, dropped to 245 and after 3 reps it acted up. Not as bad as 3 weeks ago, but I stopped the workout. Feels tender 2 hrs later.

10 handstand pushups. Hamstring’s ok, will try deads next week.
If it were me: I’d wait a whole week more than that. Hammies start to feel good fairly quickly but take time to actually heal up…
I think you’re right after my experience on Monday.
10 handstands are no joke. As we know, its taken me over a year just to get there.

10 handstand pushups.
Getting gym withdrawal. Hamstring noticeable yesterday but I “powerwalked” to courthouse close to closing time and hamstring felt fine then.
Your powerwalk probably scared some clerks as you bolted in. They knew you were there for business and not messing around. lol

8 chinup in garage last evening
this am 10 handstand pushups, 50 pushups
I noticed that handstand pushups are somewhat easier if I first tighten midsection like I do before a deadlift.

chin ups 8 reps last evening. I am trying to do these as soon as I park in garage when I come home from work. 8 is about all I can do by that time of day. Hamstring feels fine but I’m going to limit deads/rack pulls to once a week for awhile. Miss those a lot.
Rooting for Crippler to post 3 x 10 handstand pushups in a workout.
I first need to get 10 reps on a consistent basis.
