Sunday Night Fetch During Handstand Pushups

Handstand pushups, with interruptions

A handstand pushup is a full-bodyweight vertical press, which is why most people who can bench their bodyweight still cannot do one. The shoulders take the entire load through a range where they are weakest, and the balance correction has to happen simultaneously.

Adding a dog who treats every rep as a possible throw is a degree of difficulty nobody trains for on purpose.
