oooh... I used to love to do handstands... wonder if I'd kill myself trying to do one now? But I love a good challenge...2 -

When is the last time you added volume while decreasing intensity?

They are hard. And it's a smaller muscle group than for lower body, so not as easy to progress. I'm just jelly that you get to lift and I don't 😉
I'm stuck at home with my light weights😢1 -
I prefer the standing OHP, a strong lower body gives me a pretty firm foundation, and helps me push better.2
