A. Push press
up to 185 ties pr. I failed two attempts at 195. I felt good about that effort coming off of two long days and limited sleep.

B. first 2 rounds rx, then 4 pike pushups and 4 HR pushups each round
total 6+12

I had planned on doing that once SHSPU were gone.

A. Push press
55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125, 130 – 5# PR

B. SHSPU with an Abmat – 1”. (Stacked mats on either side to increase ROM)
8 + 11 reps
Increased my score by 11 reps, and using the abmat is harder for me then going off a box (which I did last time.)
For some reason, I am really good at pistols, which saves me on a wod like this. Pull ups were 4/2/2 every round with an occasional single.

Happy with this effort. Hopefully shspu are in my future.

Warm-up done.

A. Up to 235 lbs. Lifetime PR is 255 and really wanted to match. Next time!

B. 4 rounds + 4 handstand push-ups + 8 strict pull-ups.

It’s been sometime since I’ve done pistols, so I would warm-up practice between Push Press attempts.

I made up Friday’s w/SHSPU yesterday so this was interesting:

A: up to 3 sets at 205#, too tight to go higher

B. 8rds. Subbed lateral box step ups for pistols.

– x-over symmetry and core work.

6 push ups
8 strict pull ups
12 alt pistols

My buddy was over and he hadn’t worked out for a month and wanted to sling some weights..

A.
Push press

Worked up to 125kg

It was very heavy, but I’m glad to only be 5kg off my historical PR.

B.
Partner workout – 10 rounds for time (5 rounds each) of 15cal assault bike + 1 round of DT at 60kg. Complete 1 full round then rest when your partner goes.

19:03

Held 480 watts on the bike, DT done in 11/1+8/1+6
My rounds were done around 1:50 each round.

This was a good one
