Deads and HSPU

Workout 21 July 2010:

Five rounds for time of:
Deadlift, 5 reps, 225lbs
Handstand push-ups, 5 reps

Results: 14'43
Previous best: none

My original goal was to do this workout in under 10 minutes. Then I realized that alternating between moderately heavy deadlifts and flipping upside down made it a challenge to not pass out. I stayed with it, but slowed down the pace a bit. The deadlifts went very well and didn't bother my back at all. The HSPU were more challenging, and I had to break the later sets up into 3 and 2 reps. This is definitely a workout I want to tackle again. I probably won't change the deadlift weight much, but I want to get strong enough to do the HSPU on my parallettes.
