Sorry the video is in a weird place.  I’m not a millennial, I struggle.  Just happy it’s there.  

This is what I played around with on the HS.  I can feel I have some relearning to do.  But that’s the joy of life.  You know I want to be doing it ‘the right’ way :).

Went up in weight on the push press, felt good but definitely nearly maxed on last set.  Did dips in sets of 8 this week and felt solid.  Everything else went great and not too sore next day!

Thanks!

Deceptively challenging workout.  Love the total 360 degree leg pump.  And gees do I hate arch body.  Also- after videoing some of my handstands (struggling to figure out how to load video on the blogger at the moment), I’m realizing how my head is looking forward.  Like neck extension vs being in alignment.  But when I try and fix it, I lose balance.  I’ve been doing it that way for so long.  Not sure how to proceed.  Thoughts?  Thanks!

Felt amazing!  Well fueled, not gased, just a little stiff through the hips after.

1k ski
50 sandbag box step ups 20" (bear hug)
500m row

This hurt more than I thought it would.  My upper back was still a bit sore so the burpees felt hard quickly.  Loved getting to move after a day at work though!  Thanks!

Jumping went well.  Bent press is easier on the left, could probably do quite a bit more weight on that side.  Right just has more catching points.  Everything else felt great!  Thanks!

Definitely sore from this the next day.  Sotts press felt like more of a stretch on my shoulders than I remember in the past so I stayed light.  Managed to get all the dips in under 4 mins.  Amrap and emom went smooth.  Thanks!

Had some wine last night and felt it this morning.  Always makes me question if it’s worth it.  Everything felt a little harder.  On the B series it took me awhile to coordinate and choose the right weight.  I also wasn’t sure if I should do each side leg to the right and left arm hold.  So I did both.  The Cossacks were hard to keep the arm stable and pressing up overhead, hence the light weight.    Ham curls caused instant cramping.  I worked through it.  Last set I did as double leg because my right anterior knee was starting to get annoyed.  Arch body rocks I had to take some quick breaks.  Thanks!
