DL 155
HSPUs
(7 min time cap)

made it through the 15 hspus

Squats went well.  Body is kinda sore all over.  I warmed up to the 155 DL slowly to be sure left hami was feeeling good and it was.  Funny thing is the HSPUs were the hard part and fatigued.  I did the 21 DLs unbroken and went right into the handstand and realized my core/back was too smoked to keep a hollow body...I only got 5 reps and they were messy.  I think all this gymanstics really has me wanting to keep a hollow body and when I lose it it's just so unsatisfying.  In the past I probably would have just gone fast and crazy and done a bunch of sloppy hspus with an arched back.  But instead I did sets of three because that was what I could do keeping things tight.  Shoulders got a little smoked too.  But mostly core/back.  And now I am ready for a day off.  Thanks!

Glutes are so sore!  I think from the split squats.  But it's the good kind of sore, just muscle and equal on both sides which is way better than the weird pain in the right hip or hami insertion on the left that I have had- those things are good for now.  I posted the videos to be sure I am hitting the target we are aiming at.  I feel like the pull ups are better...you?  Shoulder stand was way more challenging while trying to elevate shoulders...you can't see the light of day between the parallete and my shoulders in the video but I swear there was a paper thin space :).   Any tips?  Is that a good position?  Bench was heavy at 40 and right shoulder harder to control.  False grip hangs are so hard but getting better...I did all the 20 second ones with feet on the ground but in a hollow.  Forearms and shoulders were getting tired out by the time I got to the hangs.  Everything else went well...other than this was a long hard workout and anyone watching may not think so, but it is the hardest workout of my week and I love it!  This is the stuff that gives me such a respect for gymnastics.  Thanks!

row sprints:

rest 1 min
x18

Total 82 cals for all 18 sprints




Snatching heavy like that with short rest is hard but I love it.  Even though I failed a lot today I feel like I made progress and am learning my weaknesses.  I failed the 4th rep on the second set (the one videoed) and I failed some at 103 so backed off the weight.  Backing down to 93 felt light and I failed that second rep behind me so I did one extra.  The rest of the workout went well and uneventful.  Thanks!

This was a fun workout.  Left quad is super tight/sore.  Legs have been pretty sore since squats on Tuesday. Snatching felt good...it's my arms/shoulders that give as the weight goes up.  Everything else was uneventful other than I learned taping my wrists helps a lot on the false grip hangs.  Thanks!

12 min amrap: (split with partner, run together)
Run/row 400m
27 push press 65#
27 pull ups
Run/row 400m
21 push press
21 pulls ups
Run/row 400m
15 push press
15 pull ups
Run/row 400m
9 push press
9 pull ups

We nearly finished the last 400m

So...at the beginning of class they said to base the numbers off 90% of my 1rm squat.  I think this made it much more doable and I was able to keep good form.  Legs were shaky by the end though and I know I will be sore.  The wod was okay, my partner was incredible and I held her back so I rowed the all but the 1st 400m while she ran and I did all butterfly pull ups but they were clunky today.  Push press was like nothing.  I was tired.  Thanks!

This was a hard but satisfying 90 minutes.  Pull ups are much improved.  Shoulder stand felt great just got long upside down but now after I think I did it wrong and cheated because I let my shoulders rest on the parallettes...that's not right is it?  Everything else was about the same as last time...wrists more sore from false grip is all.  Thanks!
