A – Done with 5 MUs. Assisted walks. Finally got video of my MUs. They have been feeling effortless so I thought I might actually see a good kip finally. Alas, no, but it is getting better. Amazing how it feels so different than it looks. Assisted walks still crappy. Need to spend a lot more time upside down. B – 215, 235, 255 (90%). Stopped there as groin tendon started getting grumpy (tendinosis). Gotta be patient with it and not overload it. C – 175 then 185, 195, 205, 215, 227 (1# PR). I’ve got more in the tank… Read more »

Nicole, Enjoyed the work out. Fun day for me. Things felt good including a FS PR. 1 year ago I was striving to come back from a serious low back injury. I added the swim program to the masters programming and have steadily improved. Back to moving weight numbers I was used to, but with improved mobility and tech. Trust me when I say Thank you is an understatement. A. MU 4-5-4, HSW 15 meters done with only coming down once. Felt good L-sit done. B. 245/265/285/305/325 and 345 (10# PR) on set 8. C. 205 then 225/245/265 and 275… Read more »

A.5,5,3 MU, HS Walks went well, l-sit done
B.up to 265, just missed 285
C. Up to 235, couldn’t hit 255(current pr)
D. Banded March done, did 115 on good mornings and wide stance squat

I have started back doing muscle ups with false grip in these workouts, I know it’s not as efficient and my hands usually bleed but I can at least get the reps. I am going to dedicate 3 days per week to doing swings and drills from your archive

Nice job on the PR! It took me 3 years to get good at double unders and 3.5 years to get a muscle up. You are in the right place 🙂

A. MU – 3/3/3. First time HS walking since surgery in January – wow, shldr burn! L-sits done.
B. Front Squat: 105# (1-3), 115# (45), 120#, 125#, 130# – (Up 30# since last front squat)
C. Hang Clean/Clean – 80#
Cleans – 95# (1-3), 100#, 105#, 110# (4-7), 115# (8-9) – getting more confident getting under it, but still very “tall” in the catch.
D. – skipped and did yesterday’s cardio…
TTB – 17, 18, 18, 15 – rowing was difficult after not eating for a whole day…

I’m a day behind as I had a 6 am to 8 pm day of work… So, Monday’s work: A. 105-105-115 then, 3 sets @125 3 sets @140 3 sets @150 I felt great through 1st rep at 150 then I fell flat. Failed the next 2 reps but made myself get one before I quit. Started losing the bar forward–going back to too much bang, not enough brush. Dropped a couple of Fudge Bombs along the way. B. 215 C. 12 each round. My T2B aren’t real smooth right now However, on a positive note, pushed up a nice… Read more »
