Friday 4.20.12

Warmup:
-Greg Amundson's CrossFit Warmup
-Overhead Squat: 45x5, 65x4, 85x3

Strength:
Overhead Squat, 2-2-2-2-2-2:

-135x2
-140x2
-145x0

Handstand Pushups, 2 on the minute for 10:00:
Completed with 1 abmat.

I have incredibly inflexible shoulders, so overhead squats pose a real problem for me.  At this weight, neither the squat, nor the overhead hold of the weight was difficult in terms of muscular fatigue, but I started to feel some pain in the shoulder when I went for my last set, so I let the bar go.  For now, I'm going to check my ego on the overhead squats and work on building strength in the shoulder joints.  For the HSPU, I have similar issues with pain in the shoulder joint, as well as rapid fatigue.  Still working on it. 

Conditioning:
100 Strict Pullups for Time:
12:13.

This beat my previous PR for this workout by over 7 minutes.  Progress!
