A) I really don’t feel comfortable upside down yet – back was ok but this was very challenging only got a few seconds on the free standing

B) 40# DBs could have used heavier for the rows but not the lunges those got tough at 16 🙂 and I knew Cindy was coming

C) 19 rounds 13 reps 🙁 goal was 20

A. Not very freestanding, :05-:10 once my toes get done playing Morse code on the wall
B. Lunges @ 35# db, rows @55
C. Push-ups by far are my determining factor, butterflies were not spot on today but still seemed faster than gymnastics kip, squats were just active rest

Thanks Nichole! Cindy was one of the first workouts I did a few years ago before I knew what a kip was so I always like trying it strict. I’m still sitting here in the box waiting for my now jacked-up arms to calm down so I can actually drive my car properly. LOL.

can you explain diagonal walking lunges?

Yep – take a slightly wider step then a forward lunge – you should feel it more on the lateral portion of your glute.

A: It’s easier for me to do freestanding HS holds. That wall makes it to easy to fall back. All holds were 5-12 sec.

B: Lunges- #35s, #40, #45s DBs x20 reps
DB Row- 40, 45, 45 lb DB

C: Cindy 21+ 1
Splits were
10 rds- 8:39
Rested to 9:00
5 rds from 9-13:40
Rested until 14:00
5 rds in 5:08 + additional rd and rep
That’s a PR of at least 2 rds
