I’ve been frustrated about not getting in the gym.  I worked the last three days longer shifts and got home too late.  Today, even though we had some work to do in the field we made it a priority to workout first.  I just can’t lose this vital part of my life.  The good news is we won’t be putting in fencing forever.  It’s such a physical job.  There’s no way I could workout after.  

I love these gymnastics progressions.  I want to be this kind of strong.  I found the forearm headstand was all about getting my neck and forearms aligned correctly, I think I have it figured out now.  Definitely exposed some weaknesses today.  Challenged my wrists but they held up well, were just tired with the tools later.  But my elbows were the weak spot on the ring plank with straps and the false grip bent arm hangs.  I’m sure the being double jointed makes these things a bit more challenging but even more important.  WOD felt great.  Love getting practice HS walking while out of breath.  Thanks!
