Dirty Diane-ah!

WOD
Overhead Squat
3-3-3-3-3
THEN...
“Diane”
21-15-9:
Deadlifts (225/155)
Handstand Pushups

RESULTS
95# OHS
135# DL, 15#dumb bell strict press
4:46

ANALYSIS
OHS is always a challenge but Andrew had some excellent tips as far as butt and bar position goes. I was really focusing... so much that towards the last lifts my knees started caving in!  Thats unusual for me in a squat but I felt it immediately and self corrected. 95# was heavy but not struggling. Could have gone heavier but didn't have much time and didn't want to kill myself before the WOD for a three rep max.

I REALLLYYYY want to be able to do handstand push-ups. We didn't have much time to practice handstands, ie. I didn't practice at all. And the sub was strict push press instead of box push-ups which made me happy. The box pu's never feel like the right sub to me ... I wish I had done 20 or 25# dumbbells. I cranked through the 15# pretty easily.  The DL weight was challenging after the first set of 21 but I just wonder if I 10 or 20#s more would really have made a difference.  Eh, either way, it went fast and I am delightfully not sore in my lower back today!  That's a milestone :)
