CrossFit WOD: Overheat squats and benchmark "Nate"

Today was a heavy day of overheard squats in a rep set of 3-3-3-3-3. My weight was as follows:

125-145-165-175-180 lbs.

After this lifting set, I skipped the met-con they had on the board and completed the benchmark WOD called "Nate." It involves a grueling set of exercises that challenge any serious athlete. "Nate" is:
2 muscle-ups
4 handstand pushups
8 kettlebell swings

AMRAP in 20 minutes.

I completed 9 rounds with 3 handstand pushups. My shoulders were tired from the overhead squats so that really hurt me on the handstands. Plus, I'm not that good at them yet. A fun and challenging workout indeed and I look forward to more advanced exercises in the future.

Best,
Tyler
