OMG Shoulder lockup! (Friday)

AMRAP in 20:
5 Handstand push-ups
10 Pushups (boy style)
15 Push press 45#
20 Dips

7 rounds

Well, this workout didn't look like much until I got to it.
I started out with modified handstand push ups on a box. I have done these before, and they don't bother me much...
The boy style push ups are something I started doing during my P90x, so I am not extremely proficient at them.
The push press, now, I originally put 55 pounds on it (65 is rx), but as soon as I realized what the other exercises were doing to my shoulders, I dropped it to 45.
Dips, were not a big deal.

Round 3... my shoulders were screaming some choice words that I cannot tell you all.
Round 4... Just get through it...
Round 5.. Did 2 boy push ups and dropped to my knees for girlie push ups, I couldn't even hold up my weight.

Round 6 I am only push pressing 5 at a time and resting. (please don't drop the weight on my head you burnt out shoulders... please!!!)
Round 7... 4 minutes left to finish ... I finished with 30 seconds to spare, and there was noooooo freaking way I was starting on another round.

I couldn't move my arms.
My trainer Rob was laughing because even with his big ass shoulders, he said that this workout was an eye opener (he did bench press of 135# push ups are a sub) He said, individually, he could kill any one of these exercises, but together, it burnt him out!!!

I wrote down my results while my hand shook the whole time.
Tomorrow is a rest day and it couldn't have come any quicker... My parents have my daughter Ella (20 months) for the night, so I get to sleep in.
