Workout:

I warmed up and did some HS work, then:

22 mins:

Sled pull 200 ft

Reverse sled pull 200 ft

Sled plus 45 (did first out at back with 60 and was wicked hard)

I needed to move after a lot of family time all day.  This just felt good.

I had planned to do this after work one night but got home too late.  Definitely not my favorite duration of effort, I start hurting at about 1 min.  The 1:52 time hurt.  But proud when I had them all done :).  Feeling good, doing tons of yard work and riding horses.  Hope to get on the bike again this weekend.  Thanks!

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!

Mountain bike:

4 hours, 15 miles, 5k feet climbing.

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