Weird day. Did a poor job of targeting my RPEs - missing out on some volume. I also fatigued extremely quickly on the presses.
How long would you estimate you rest between these last 2 sets? I know my shoulders are feeling absolutely worked after 1 "heavy" set.
One thing that was pretty common when I lifted at a CrossFit gym is they would always recommend nobody every go to muscle failure on handstand pushups. The reason being because triceps seem to not recover very well from hitting that high level of fatigue. For example, I've seen someone do 9 HSPU, then follow up with 4. So at least in your case, 6 => 5 isn't as huge of a drop off.
