Strict press was fine.  A little ugly and slow on the last rep, left arm following right, but it got there.  First rep is the hardest to start from the bottom.  Then the middle part is the toughest.  It's hard for me not to push the bar out in front of me.  Handstands are feeling a lot more comfortable but time still seems to stand still.  No numbness, dizziness.  I didn't rest as much between attempts today either.  Paralletes felt good.  I definitely feel my abs but the shoulders are feeling pretty solid.  Oh the 90-90 L-holds...what sweet torture.  I feel cool doing them but that rapidly fades because they only last 10-15 seconds.  And at some point, my jaw will start to shake from the effort, lol.  However, I felt stronger in my low back today, not so much of a tendency to arch.  These do make my elbows ache, like the ligaments are sore to the touch.  But nothing sharp,  painful, or numb.  Hollow body rocks were a nice respite.  Bar hangs felt improved today.  Forearms didn't get quite as tight either.  Pretty sore hamstrings and glutes from yesterday.  Hoping to feel fresh and ready to try 14.3 tomorrow!  Thanks!
