A. 6:38 Rx
B. Complete
Used 1 24kg KB and held it in the goblet position. Also used a shorter box to put more focus on the working leg.

G’day everybody! Try to post my workouts to get some feedback.

Mondays:

A. Fitness: 1k 20 Burpees 40 Thrusters
9:00 Min
Started way too slow at the rower in the morning.

B. BSS: 24 kg KBs x8 / 22,5 kg DB x8 for L seated oh-press

C. Commuting 5k Roadbike. 13:55

I try to put my focus more on strength and functional bodybuilding, so I mix up Performance and Fitness regularly to get more accessory work in.

A: 9:51 Rx’ed

B: BSS @ 95#. Still having trouble getting up into the handstand, so subbed Pike push-ups with feet on a 30″ box. Not sure why, but whenever I get into the HS, my arms just buckle. I don’t think it’s a shoulder strength issue. Maybe stabilizing muscles are weak?

C: 3 sets: Max sit-ups + 10 inverse rows

D: 5 minutes DU practice. Giving DUs a second try. I planned to practice for 10 minutes but I’m bad at being a novice and got flustered.

Hey Jared! Make sure you’re actively pressing thru the floor. I see this a lot with people kicking into handstands. Think about a strict press or any lift overhead, our arms are locked and we’re reaching up to create maximum stability.

Previously 12:53 using bands back in 2012 after Spinal surgery. Today Rx’d 10:40! I need to string together more pull ups, at the end I was doing sets of 2. but I got it done! I did the thrusters in 3 sets 21-21- 8 like suggested which helped me kind of game it. It was the pull ups that really kicked my butt today. Next time under 10!!

A. 8:24 – went 40/10 on the thrusters, but then the pullups slowed me down. I just can’t do that many unbroken – 10/6/5/6/3
B. BSS – bar/65/75
SHPU – each round did 1 kipping pushup against the wall (a big win for me!) then did 8 pike pushups off a box.

Warmup: Get really warm! Row 150 legs only then 150 arms only then 150 full strokes 2 rounds: Bar hang for 30 seconds + 10 scap pull-ups + 10 Kip swings 10 jumping lunges + 10 jumping air squats + 10 wide stance squats + 10 narrow stance squats With an empty bar: 8 front squats + 8 push press + 8 thrusters Go thru one round as FAST as possible: 200m row, 15 thrusters, 8 pull-ups — this primes the nervous system for the workout and also lets you feel the transitions between movements so that you’re prepared for… Read more »

A. 7:46. Subbed run for row since I’m at home with no rower. Thrusters 25/15/10, pull ups 20/10. Not used to morning workouts and I could feel the difference today. Well off my PR but got a good workout in.

B. 40# dbs x8 @ tempo. Subbed seated alt shoulder press for hspu to work each arm individually. Kept the tempo throughout.

Saturday:

A) HSPU Workshop.

1 hour dedicated to work on many aspects on headstands, handstands, kipping mechanics, etc. Gotta work on my hip pop as it’s my weak spot there.

B) “Nancy” Rx – 5 RxT of:
400 mts run
15 OHS 42.5 kgs
Time 24’39”

Slow on the running mostly due to my lower back flaring up on the second round; OHS were done 10/5 then 7/4/4. Not the best of times and it was super grindy but it was so good to get this one done

A. 7:24 Rx. Grip failed me on the pull-ups… spent about 6 hours putting up a horse fence yesterday.

B. Rx accidentally read as 4 rounds. Anyone else feel lightheaded throughout? Nasty combo, almost went lights out a few times.
