16.4 Done!

This post is a little delayed because of how I spent my weekend, which will be the topic of my next post. But I completed 183 reps in 16.4 on Friday night, which I'm pretty pleased about. The deadlifts were easier than I anticipated. At just over 50% of my max, they really weren't too bad, and I broke them up into sets of something like 8-8-6-6-5-5 and some smaller sets that I don't remember after that. The wall balls were hard but doable, I think I did sets of 10-10-5-5-5-5-5-5-5. The row was great for me, I kept it fairly steady above about 900 calories/hour, and I got off the rower with more than 3.5 minutes left. I probably took 20 seconds preparing for my handstand push-ups, but then I managed a set of 4, and then a set of 6. The rest were singles with 2 failed reps for a total of 18 HSPUs.

I think that if I were to do the workout again, I would probably push just a little harder on the wall balls, and try to go faster on the HSPUs. Most of my HSPUs I went fairly slowly, taking my time to set up my kip because I didn't want many no-reps and because if I don't kip big enough my arms burn out quickly. I will not be redoing 16.4, since two and a half days later I'm still not fully recovered.
