demo-wall-facing-handstand-push-ups_dvd.original[1]Today the highlights of the workout were more belly to wall handstand push ups and doing some exercises at the top end of my weight capabilities finishing up dumbbell curls, barbell shrugs and standing curls with weight I could only move a couple times. (55lb dumbbell curls, 335 Smith shrug, 130lbs cable curl)

It’s a good thing to always keep your body guessing and throwing in movements with weight that is higher than you are used to handling is a good way to make your muscles adapt, even if the ROM or form is less than perfect.
