Unbroken! A few months ago I would have scaled this but I was feeling brave today and I did the overhead squats unbroken (not smoothly, I struggled on the last reps of the sets of 21 and 15) but I didn't rest the bar on my back or put it down. The push-ups were rough, they're nasty after OH/S.

Pull-ups got hard, I went slow to avoid failing, maybe too slow but whatever. Fun little workout I could do inside. Did my push-ups with my hands lower (so my forearms are vertical in the bottom position), I think it's more efficient so I'll probably stick with it.

Skills
Handstand pushups (toes on wall)
