Frida(Y)

So I was a bit more inspired this week to work on handstands, with the progression of both my children's and a client's. Did somewhere between 15-20 wall handstands working on stacking the body to achieve a strong balance point. Also did quite a few sets w/push ups and noticed the outside edge line that Gray Cook/Pavel advocates works well in finding a particular line in the lat. Combined those with:
*Warmed up on foam roller and single legged active stretch up side wall
*my first few decent front lever raises (although no strong holds) - 3 sets of 3-4 raises
*followed /front lever tucks w/single legged extension - 3 sets of 4-5 extensions per
*3 sets of strict pulls 20, 12, 6
*3 sets of Korean dips 6, 8, 5
*3 strong gripped 45 lb strict presses on R - only 1 on L
*Participated in 50 myofascial release class.

Lats are quite a bit sore on Saturday evening. Dropped all numbers in Biometrics screening (LDL/HDL, BMI, etc) except blood pressure. Primarily systolic high - diastolic in range 1st stage prehypertension. Wondering if due to high pressured exercise, or married with 2 children and 3rd on way. All other criteria fall into play well, except veggie eating and stress =)
Start additional yoga practice....
