I’m glad your back into handstands. Once my shoulder feels better, I need to do the same.

1 x 7 handstand pushups. Sucking air to brace gut helps a lot.
Present workout is getting stale. Thinking…

I realized this morning I’ve been doing these in less than l minute.
Pushups are not a gym substitute. Next week, gym.

Tired today. I’ve decided to give up the hardcore gyms and just use old one. It’s adequate and close to home.
That’s cranking.
What’s your training background that led to the body weight work?
Farm work; college wrestling briefly until grades suffered; 20+ yr woodworking hobby; generally, life.
Started reasonably serious weightlifting in Navy, continued in law school, barn gym thereafter for about 25 yrs until small commercial one opened nearby. Now, I have 10 gyms within about 8 miles of new residence.
Did the wrestling have a big influence on your exercises?
I wrestled for 3 years in HS. It was a lot of body weight work. Multiple types of pushups, pull-ups, chins, sit ups, bridges for neck , front and back etc…
It left a nice base of body weight work for my training through life. Don’t need much space or stuff.
rope climbing and handstand pushups were new for me in wrestling. I was familiar with about everything else they threw at me.
