It was a nightmare, I was ultra fatigued. Added a kip tip to my HSPU and did the best hspu of my life, had to change em to Pike push ups. As Controlled as piked as stable as possible. Also did 18 instead of 15.

As rx’d, 7:21 (PR).

Almost a minute PR from 5+ years ago.  Back squats unbroken and broke strict HSPUs the same way (9’s, 7’s, 5’s, with ~20 sec between sets).  Possibly the difference was less time in transitions.  Tried to get right back on the bar and tried to do the first set of HSPUs right away.

All HSPUs were strict. I did wear a belt when doing the squats full depth using 165 lbs.
I was surprised how quickly I was able to bounce back into the next squat set as I typically broke up each round into 3 sets and 2 in the last round.
27 Round: BS & HSPUs 9-9-9
21 Round: BS & HSPUs 9-7-5
15 Round: BS 9-6 & HSPUs 5-4-3-3.
I did this WOD after getting VERY little sleep (about 3.5 hours) due to working super late into the night painting to finish the half bathroom remodel I did over the holiday vacation.
Also, I played pickleball for a little over an hour before this, and minimally stretched and warmed up. I did do a few progressive sets with the squatting to get ready (45,95, 125, 155 all x7/ set). I was getting really tight in my inner thighs and hamstrings doing the squats. So much so that I was stretching for a couple seconds while resting on the HSPUs. 
For me, 165 is not heavy at all, but doing so many reps so quickly did feel it for sure. 
Good quick WOD and nice mix up.
I went snowboarding for about 2 hours after the workout and then did some final work on the half bathroom for a couple hours to finish it off. 
FYI, I have been SUPER sore in my hamstrings and inner legs since this workout. I have not been this type of sore in quite some time.

Champions Club Scaling Notes

RANT
Nothing to rant about

WORKOUT THEMES
Short duration and medium weight. Squatting and pushing with a big stamina factor, changing orientation, pushing with skill also themes.

ASSUMED
63 reps (split up, not at once) is enough of a dose for that movement. As far as technique goes, this is actually a low-volume workout.

MAIN DECISION
Preserve the inverted-ness of the hspu, or preserve the pushing movement pattern?

TECHNIQUE SCALE
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
20 slow squats (literally any kind: back, front, overhead, goblet, air, they're all the same thing)
2:00 freestanding handstand practice

CONSISTENCY SCALE
As listed, squats have to be unbroken, hspu are strict or scale to strict press with dumbbells.

INTENSITY SCALE
Sub burpees for hspu (both are pushing with skill) and practice hspu in the warmup

MY STUFF
Didn't get to this in time, ended up practicing handstand descents for 20 minutes, but allowed for a lot of shoulder fatigue to kick in.

GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

(Reposting, since there seems to have been some comments-section synchronization issues over the past several days)

Continuing my annual tradition (although I said two January firsts ago that I wasn’t going to compile them any more…), I have a Word.docx file which includes every main-page WOD since 070601 that I am happy to share.  It totals almost 4,000 WODs, and makes a handy searchable (677 page!) reference document.

The document in the link below is updated through December 31st, 2021.  As a small added bonus, if you look at the last couple of pages of the file, there are some miscellaneous WODs that I've collected over the years.  A couple of those are good for travel scenarios where the available equipment
might be lacking.  A couple of them are real bears.

(If you have difficulty downloading the document from the Google Docs link below, send me an email at: tails192 (insert “@” symbol) yahoo.com and I will send you the document.)

I’ve been collecting the WODs for a *long* time, and I believe that 2021 will really mark the end of my effort in this regard.  My plan is that once I catch up (I’m doing 190712 today), I will go back and start over from the beginning of the document with the 070601 WOD, and work through the whole thing again.  At my current workout frequency, this WOD list will last me 16(+) years.  So if I go through it four more times, that’ll put me at the ripe age of 124. :-}

All the best to each of you in 2022 and beyond,

Might be the difference between a high bar vs. low bar squat.  In the video, this is a high bar squat which lends the torso to stay vertical....I much prefer the low bar squat myself when getting heavier, which utilizes more hip drive.

Check out this site below for more in depth insights between the two.

https://barbend.com/high-bar-versus-low-bar-squats/

Hard for me to get excited about these variations outside of scaling in WOD's perhaps. My suggestion would be to practice the press -to-handstand progressions in the negative, striving to lower as slowly as possible until the positive (the press to handstand) is possible. I'd recommend working through the hierarchy of presses in exactly this manner. In addition, I'd press dumbbells overhead regularly. Less frequently I'd go overhead with barbells. This will get you handstand push-ups, in all variations, quickest. Add an increased commitment to a bigger deadlift to this approach and we are on our way to improved O-lifts. 

Somebody make Hobart get back up there and demo Strict Deficit

Deficit strict?

I don't know how he keeps his torso so vertical.  I think I'm way further forward when I don bs, esp. heavier ones.
