Handstand Presses with Ankle Weights

How can one make handstand presses more challenging? Add weight! How can you do that? I used some ankle weights.

I was/am having some challenges adding to my bodyweight reps, so I decided to add 5 pounds on each ankle for 10 pounds extra total. Next time I will look to add 10 pounds each ankle, which is the full capability of the ankle weight set I have. And the plan is when I return to my bodyweight after that, I will be stronger and 'feel lighter', and thus get more reps.

I also continued progressing on the parallel grip pullups with the "medium" weight sandbag.
