1. Handstand hold would be worked up to 3 minutes and beyond. Build a wider base to go higher.

2. My strategy to tackle the high number of reps without taking too much recovery time would be:
Warm up set: 25%RM
Working set #1: 50%RM
Working set #2: 75%RM
Working set #3: as many as possible minus 1-2 reps (becomes the new RM for next session)

3. But if it is a new progression, i'll attempt 5 reps for warm up and 10 reps for sets #1 and #2.

4. Got too enthusiastic for the Cuban Rotation. Huge increase in strength from 8 (previous session) to 12 reps. But next time it would also follow the protocol for the main exercises.
