The Handstand Pushup Thread...

awesome Buddy:bears:

 

Well, 18.5 HSPU for my second non-warmup set. ::

I think that because my bodyweight is going down, I might be slowing down my progress, but that's ok. I can always speed it up once I hit a weight that I want to stay at, and I have to be getting sharp for the spring. :dunno: :clap: :clap:

 

my next short goal on them is 60

 

Well, I got 18 for my third set, so that's a warmup of 6 and then 19, 18.5, 18, and now I'm gonna get my jog done.:dunno:

 

I'll give it another shot or two, but earlier I tried and I got a cramp so bad that I couldn't straighten my arm.

 

Only got 10. It might be the huge steak I ate earlier. ::

So that's 70 in total for today, but next time I'll focus better and get the triple digit total!:clap:

 

Well I did a warmup set of 5 and then 5 sets of 10. 55 in total. Not bad. :clap:

 

Getting there today too. I was gonna up my reps, but instead I'm focusing on getting speed and power with the same number. So far I got 5, 11, and 10 (I decided to keep it at 10 for a bit).

 

Got my third working set of 13 or so. I should have kept it to 10, but I felt like doing a few more. For my last few sets I'll do 9 or 10 each.

 

Did a set of 10 about an hour ago. Let's tally up thus far!

5, 11, 10, 13, 10---49 thus far. I guess I'll fire off 11 and make it an even 60. :clap:

 

Done, no probs...other than my arms being a bit tired. :clap:

 

Once again, 5 to warm up just finished. I'ma keep this up for as long as I can...barring unforeseen baby stuff. :clap:

 

5, 10, 10, 10, 10, 7...I was a bit tired for some reason, or distracted as I think the baby has gotten into final position. ::

 

Well, back to the HSPU thread. Warmup of 5, 2 sets of 11, no problem...and three sets of 12 on the way. Gotta keep these up, no matter what! :clap:

 

Wound up doing an even 60 yesterday. Today is the chins. :clap:

 

I havent done HSPU in 4 days!:doh:

today i'll bang some out..

I have been doing my chins, pushups, and situps daily but for some reason the HSPU have fallen off..

 

The nice thing about being at my job is routine, routine, routine. I can do my chins, pushups, and leg raises without fail throughout the day. I did 63 chins yesterday without really trying much. I just popped over to a quiet area, and then I do a quick set or two.

Plus, if I get here a bit early, I can take an extended lunch and get stuff done then as well. :clap:

 

Frig, so busy today I didn't have time for HSPUs. I'll get'em tomorrow. :dunno:

 

I did 3 set of 20 this evening

 

The lack of sleep really starts to get to me after awhile. I need to focus in order to get the sets, but all I want to do is sleep at my desk.::

 

Thus far today, I've done 12, 14, 15, 15, and I'll probably do three or four more sets at home. I'm gonna go for 100 total today. :clap:

 

These are getting to be an easy enough routine. Still, right around 20 or so, I crap out stamina-wise. I have to work these harder than chins, I guess. :dunno:

 

i'm going for 100 today too Buddy! you got me inspiried:bears: I've done none yet today but I'm going to start right now!:cheer:

 

I've done 5, 15, 16, and I'm also going for 100 today, Lokster. I'll do 2 more sets of 15-20 when I'm at the gym today, and then a few more sets in the afternoon and a few in the evening. I will definitely get 100 HSPU today even if I have to do sets of 1-5 reps at the end! ::

 

That's two more sets of 15. One at work and one at the gym. I could have gotten in two more sets, and in fact I might go get one now.

 

Thus far, it's 5, 15, 16, 15, 15, 18...so that is 84 total. If I get one more set of 16, I'll have 100 before I go home. Heck, eventually I may have to go for 150 or 200. :clap:

 

Nothing compared to you two freaks, but got up to 3 sets of 5 chins with 75lb weight and 3 sets of 5 extended range incline push ups with 92lb yesterday. Coming along nicely, way stronger than a month ago. Aim to be well over 100lb on both by the end of the summer as well as up to 350 on Dead Lift.:blobbox:

 

Hutster, do you wear a weightbelt when you do your deadlifts? I recently stopped wearing one, which necessitated me decreasing the weight until I work back up to my usual levels safely. 350 is really good. How much do you weigh?

Personally, right now, I'm sure I could do around 350 without a weightbelt. That's partly because I know my grip strength is strong enough to hold my weight, 205, hanging by one arm from the chinup bar for a little while.

Still, I'd be risking injury to do that. I'll work back up safely over the next few months. :clap:

 

And that was 16, which means that at 1:18pm, I have already done 100 handstand pushups for the day. If I kept going for more sets, I could really set a great record, but I'm gonna take it easy and just do chins tomorrow and alternate days! :clap:

 

I get the feeling that the heavy shoulder presses were holding me back from doing really good numbers in the HSPUs. Now that I have put them on the backburner, my numbers will likely go up again. When I can do 100 HPSUs and 100 chins on an alternating daily basis, I will start adding more reps or different stuff.:clap:
