Had a good handstand day rotating between using the wall to rebalance and headstand pike reps and cartwheels both ways.  It’s coming along.

Bench and strict press felt solid.  I feel like I’m gaining strength her, hitting numbers that were hard 10 years ago.  

DB press in the amrap was harder on the left, had to split them up.  

Thanks!

Did this after driving home from a winging weekend.  A series was tough, the split squats with 35’s were the hardest part.  The strongman stuff was tough too, the sandbags I’d say was the toughest.  Love this stuff though.  Sore the next day but not terrible.  Thanks!

Had a good HS session. Making progress on a better position.  It helped that my shoulders felt nice and recovered and flexible.  Pressing felt great, no issues.  The core emom was a good challenge.  And bands a pump!  Thanks!

Finally back at it.  I missed a day that was d/t way too much smoke in the air.  Then I worked 5/6 days and the one day off we foiled all day.  Foiling was amazing!  Really making some big skill improvements.  I’ve also been riding my horse in the late evenings as much as possible. 

Today I did the same weight as last time just to not overdo the soreness since it has been so long.  I felt really good.  Love the strongman stuff.  No issues.  Thanks!

Air is super Smokey here but I can’t sit around all day so I just kept the door shut.  Only really felt it on the bike just a little.  Tuck front lever hold is hard!  Enjoyed pushing the limit of how low I could hold my hips and hang in.  Everything else felt great.  Happy to get my hands on the ground with the bridge.  Thanks!
