In a neighborhood pool. I live in the desert of Arizona so open water is hard to come by unfortunately!

Great job! 67 cals is legit! Glad you’re taking care of your wing. Besides laying off problem movements, what are you doing for it?

The supinated pull-ups got me, never do them that way. Ring dips crushed me. Had to break them up into sets of five.

I go by how my body feels. Sometimes I can go 5 or 6 days in a row no problem and sometimes I need a break after 2 or 3 days. I’d say what you do depends on how beat up you’re feeling. It could be a little as foam rolling and a walk or shooting baskets. Or you could go for a swim or hike or run. If you wanted to do something in the gym, you could either do skill work or just light conditioning like: 5 minute bike/row then 5 minute mobilization -or- row/bike for 30 minutes… Read more »

Only if you want. Just get from one side to the other. Most jump up then step down the other side.

Next time for the strict HSPU if you don’t have them, do the L-seated DB press or even negatives in this workout.
