@von20207777 no problem man! Your progress actually kind of blew my mind because I was like wait... "this is that same guy from NC State who posted here last time lmao."
Also, can you expand a bit more on your wrist extensor injury and how you dealt with it? I'm currently going through the same process and am unsure if I should cease any activity involving the affected wrist; or if I should continue exercises that don't cause pain?

@lpj Preface by saying I'm not a doctor... but for me, what helped was massaging the area and around it, contrast bath (hot water and icy water 30s each for 10 minutes), ibueprofen, mobility work (light and increasing intensity as pain went away), and in general not doing stuff (like handstands) that hurt it anymore.
Took two months but I'm doing a couple handstands per session now and don't have pain almost at all anymore (only a little bit of tightness). I picked up a pair of strength wraps (wrist wraps) and they seem to help.
And thanks again
. It's crazy to look back and see it in perspective...

@von20207777 Nice progress, I'm also trying to fit weight with BW (with focus on the second) and splitting lower (2 days) and upper (3 days alternating push and pull) part, how long do your workout usually last? I've found myself spending more time in the gym now that I try to mix the two.

@von20207777 Takes me a bit longer for the upper part and with a full time job the only thing left I can cut is girlfriend time and she's already not too happy.

@von20207777 Grind me harder on those OHP's, Jesus haha. Good job OP! I'll keep giving you karma as long as your OHP PR's grind harder than an encumbered train coming to a halt

@theundecided Both of those were literally maximum effort. And the second one... I thought during it "have I been really grinding this long?" It was about 16 bloody seconds. I'm amazed I didn't pass out.
Don't worry man, OHP is gonna keep hopping on the tracks and make this train come to a halt hahahah.

@von20207777 Man I would love to talk to you extensively on your progress and really get into it. I've been lifting weights for 15 years, all kinds of free weight workouts. Then I found the RR and I started 3 months ago. I'm happy that my strength transitioned, but sad that my skill is shit (obviously I never did anything like this before). Your progress gave me hope, my handstands are plateauing and my levees suck, anyway if you wouldn't mind I'd love to pick your brain.
