Handstand Push-Ups

I'm now able to crank out a bunch of handstand push-ups -- something I couldn't say just a couple of months ago. Like last week, I did 30 today, in sets of 5, but felt like I could have kept going.

Metcon:

AMRAP in 8 minutes:

• 10-meter dumbbell bear crawl
• 5 dumbbell burpees
• 5 dumbbell power cleans
• 5 dumbbell shoulder-to-overheads (my method of choice: push-presses)

Result: I was one burpee into my seventh round when the clock ran out. This was murder on the wrists, but I thoroughly enjoyed the bear crawls and burpees. (The shoulder-to-overheads? Not so much.)
