A.
RMU – 4, 4, 5 – jumping – from a 24” box. + 8 -10 ring rows.
HSW: worked for about 1 – 1.5 min on walking and balancing. Got about 7 steps on the longest run. Got about 20 – 25 steps each round (not consecutive)
L sit: this was a disast. My bicep and shoulder gave up thw ghost the first 10 sec and so did hanging l sit but that also was terrible because my core is trashed from all the TTB.

A. Banded RMU progression x 5 reps Handstand walk practice L-sit x 60s – UB, 40s/20s, 45s/15s (10s rest on broken sets) ***Banded RMU felt really good today..the last 2 reps on set 3 were a fight but I kept them strict and got them! Handstand walks haven’t gone this good since the open. But I had great motivation…my daughter was in the gym with me and said “you have been doing this for a long time and you still cant walk on your hands”. She’s 7…neither can she…but I showed her…I got a couple 5-7′ reps each round and… Read more »

Normally, I LOVE gymnastics days…this one was a grinder and not as fun. A. 4 strict RMU – probably a mistake but these felt great on rd 1 only. Had to kick off the wall for rounds 2 and 3 and only did 4. Hand stand walking up the incline of the driveway was improved by rd. 3 but I only got about 50-55 feet done in the 2 minutes L-sit :30,:10,:10,:10 for round 1 only…I managed :40 for Rds 2-3 – that was humbling B. done with Airdyne 24 cals – 800m run – pullups unbroken both rounds 14:06… Read more »

Hammys very tight today.
A. Just took 20 min to work on
UB sets of MU
Handstand walks
L-sits (sets of :05-:10)

B. 11:57 Rx
Hamstrings started cramping on the kip of my first set of pull-ups! From then on it was fighting through that.

Also had to go UB on final set of pull-ups to finish in time cap and did it! So there’s a win.

Combined a little of today with yesterday’s as I was catching up. Did Friday’s work yesterday.
A. done, no rings or bar in the shed, so I combined towel pull-ups and TRX rows for the first interval. HS walks were solid today, and rotated each leg up for 30 sec on L-sit hold.
B. Rx, 11:55, ran on a woodway to make sure I kept my pace, pushed on the bike and pull-ups because I knew I could make up time there. It was tough though.

A. Banded bar muscle up practice.
1. 8 ring muscle up progression work
2. 30 “steps” face to wall
3. Rx

B. I was 12 pull-ups away from finishing. I knew pull-ups were going to be hard. I finished the runs 3:14-3:19. Rows were 1:05 each.

C. 4 min plank

My back is feeling pretty wrecked after yesterday. A lot of stretching and mobility plus hopped on the bike for a little bit to get the blood going. So, going to take the kids to the pool and cut the grass. Good times! 🙂

Good morning, everybody…Gymnastics…always fun to contort your body at 6:00. I’ve been trying to work on a lot of strict movements – bodyweight and barbell – to help me move better and be stronger. So: A1. false grip strict pull-ups A2. done. worked on hollow position A3. done B. 8:45; subbed 20 burpees and 400m run. did runs at about a 2:20 pace which is sloooowww (competition in April, I ran the mile in 6:34), but zero pain in calf which is encouraging. pull-ups unbroken on round 1 and 12/8 round 2. C. crossover symmetry and calf raises Have a… Read more »
