Handstand presses and pullups and chemtrails oh my!

This was the 9th wk of this day, coming back around one last time as a deload day. So the weights were lighter (I only used bodyweight and no added weight on either exercise), and thus the reps were higher, and there were less sets (4 sets, compared to 8 last time).

I was looking to get my handstand presses over 7 reps, at least in one set/the first set, because I got up to that point and then stuck there a few weeks in a row (perhaps between wks 3-5). I got 7 and almost 8, so not quite there. However, my 4 set total was the best of any week, so this was at least some slight improvement overall.

Overall/overview of all 9 workouts:

With the pullups, I had multiple weeks of increases with weight. The first 5 weeks were a slightly different grip:
wk 1 bodyweight
wk 2 bodyweight + lightest sandbag
wk 3 bodyweight + medium sandbag
wk 4 bodyweight + heaviest sandbag
wk 5 deload with bodyweight, increasing the reps compared to wk 1
wk 6 new grip bodyweight + lightest sandbag (I changed the grip to this parallel grip you can see here)
wk 7 new grip bodyweight + medium sandbag
wk 8 new grip bodyweight + heaviest sandbag
wk 9 new grip deload with bodyweight, where I once again had some nice increases in reps. (I didn't do this new/parallel grip with bodyweight, but can tell I'm still stronger compared to wk 6).

With the handstand presses, I didn't progress so much with weights and I kept adding sets each workout through those first 4 workouts. At some point, I started doing longer holds, and then decided to add weights. I used 5lb ankle-weights in wk 7 and 10lb ankle-weights in wk 8. If I started that a week sooner, and perhaps used my weighted vest or something, then maybe I would have gotten just a big stronger so my bodyweight wouldn't be so much of a challenge. You can see the handstand presses are pretty tough to progress, though there are ways to do it!

We can also see how effective increasing the weight for less reps is, the next time you do that lighter/initial weight. It's a very effective way to get more reps in a short amount of time! Though a few weeks of increases are needed.
