Did things out of order again, in 3 sessions: Session 1 Gymnastics Skills warm up – loved all of these! Strict work on rings was tough, had a hard time keeping my elbows straight, and broke those up a bit for quality. Grip was taxed. MU – 6 – can’t do non-false grip on these BMU – 1 – can’t string these yet Dips – 12 Session 2 FS+SJ – 105/115/125/135/135/140/145/150 2PC+PJ – 125/135/135/140/145/150 Floor Press, etc. 45b DBs, the pump was real. Session 3 500m row+DU+Pullups – 7:43 – 1:59 row, 50 UB DU then crap, pull-ups 10/10/3-5’s to… Read more »

I did both sessions in one session so I cut some warm up and technique things out. I leave them for the end of the work out and do if I have time. I am still trying to figure out what to keep and what can be skipped since I’m doing the sessions together but I’ll find my way. Giving myself this week to figure out a rhythm. Ok here are my results for tonight. Session 1 A. 115-135-135-145-145-155-155-165 B. 135-135-145-145-155-155 C. 7:48…got stuck on PUs D.

session 2
at school so didn’t get a chance to do peek a boo swings, strict toe to ring or tucked hang to inversion on rings. make up when I’m at the box.
A.
muscle ups: 18 (1 rep pr)
bar muscle ups: stopped at 8 hands were starting to wear down (yes I was using grips)
ring dips: 20 🙁
B. did the rowing, but no way I was going to maintain 1:42. was between 1:46-1:53 for the most part. interval repeats at moderate pace with short rest are consistently a struggle

PM Session: I. Done II. Done III. Done – HOLY HANDS! A. MU- 3 (My max is 5, but I know that I am capable of more.

Session 2: Gymnastics skill warm up: Completed. Need to dork on the peekaboo ones. And I definitely underestimated those 30 squat to jump muscle ups. III. Three sets: T2r : went well. All unbroken Tucked hang: hard on the grip to go slow and controlled Sl cross t2b: never did these. I really liked them. All unbroken. Really felt lower oblique B) option 2: 140 cal after the ten sets: Was really hard for me to stay over 80 rpms. Could get it to 90 then it would start coming down. The last 8 sec were tough to keep right… Read more »

The 30 UB reps were pretty tough actually, grip went a little and i kept adding plates. III. It was tough, couldn’t do tempo on toes to rings. The tuck on rings was… Read more »
