And then . . .

40-49
Every minute, on the minute, for 14 minutes:
Minute 1 – Bar Muscle-Up x 2-3 reps
Minute 2 – Strict Handstand Push-Ups to 4″/2″ deficit x 5 reps

50-59
Every minute, on the minute, for 14 minutes:

Minute 2 – Strict Handstand Push-Ups x 5 reps

60+
Every minute, on the minute, for 14 minutes:

B.
Every minute, on the minute, for 4 minutes:

and then . . .

Every 2 minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets), complete:

and then . . .

Every 2 minutes, for 16 minutes (8 sets), complete:

Go based on feel. I don’t want to see more then one missed repetition. If you miss more then once, take the weight down and work good mechanics for the remainder of the sets.

Rest 60 seconds
GHD Sit Ups x 15 reps

A – skipped MUs (shoulders); did HS walks to wall (1-2 ft at a time) along with 20 hip touches. EMOM: Subbed bar MU with 5 strict supine grip weighted pullups and 5 strict ring dips. HSPUs as Rx. Supine grip does not bother shoulder.
B – Complex done. PwrClean 165-205. Cleans 175-185-195-205-215-225-235F-205.
C – Single Leg 135# @3111 (tough!), GHD, Bent Over Rows 135# @3111. Did GHDs @3111 – eccentric loading supposedly helps groin tendon. First GHDs in almost a year. Hopefully this damn tendon is turning a corner. We’ll see…

Feels surprisingly good. Just a very puzzling injury. Diagnosed as tendinosis. I’ll send you an email with some background on it. Too much to describe here.

A1 3 MU’s plus 15′ HS walk ??/1:25/1:23 *First time I’ve been able to link all of my MU’s. It finally clicked. Yes!!! A good tip by Ed Rapoza on how to get my re-grip before the swing and that’s all it took. Very happy because this is something I’ve been wanting to be able to do for quite some time. Made quite a difference in how much time I saved being able to link them. Felt as though I could do at least 5 in a row linking them. Definitely stoked about this. A2. C2B’s and HSPU’s – 5… Read more »

Awesome on linking your muscle ups today Barry, they looked solid. No more singles for you! Thanks for the tips on SHSPU, still a struggle but making progress.
