Intermittently to crossfit the past few weeks (been sick). Did manage to have a personal record for deadlifts (135lb) Tuesday, get up into a wall handstand without assist for the first time yesterday, and... pull some hamstring muscles trying to get up into a wall handstand without assist.

Not hurting as much today as yesterday and applied much ice, so I hope I nipped the inflammation in the bud. Likely will take tomorrow off.

Owww. I hope you recover speedily. On the plus side, once you've got up into wall handstand on your own once, you know you can do it again ...

Thanks!

As I said to another gym-goer, "you just have to convince the hind-brain that the wall will won't go away". :)

Each day getting better. (fingers crossed)
