Pressing, pressing, pressing...

Today I did a modified version of the CrossFit Mainsite WOD. I got the workout from CrossFit New Hampshire and I did it for only 10 minutes, and believe me when I say 10 minutes was plenty!!

AMRAP in 10 minutes of
5 x HSPU's
10 x Push-ups
15 x Ring Dips

3 rounds

I was pretty pleased with myself because I did full handstand push ups! I haven't done handstand push ups in over a decade due to shoulder issues. So I was a bit nervous to try them, but down and up I went and no pain! I've been improving on my dips (having avoided them for more than a decade as well due to shoulder problems) and so I tried a full ring dip a couple of days ago and didn't have any pain so I was pretty excited, but tonight I didn't think pushing it would be a good idea. I did the workout and made three rounds and have some shoulder pain but I can tell the irritation I'm feeling isn't going to sideline me like it would have a few months ago. A little ice and rest then I'll be ready to go.
