Peer pressured into tackling the Invictus online comp today.
3RM Front Squat – 295, 10lb pr.
2k row, 7:24, 2 sec PR
Snatched 155, then did 43 burpees over the bar.
Was running late for work, so I bailed on the 4th part. 30 hang snatches at 135 would be a ton for me anyway, likely unfinishable.

I will likely go back tonight to do Part A, or at least work on some gymnastics stuff.

A.
Bar MUs: 5/4/5 UB … happy w/ this
KB Snatch: 7/side @ 24kg … will go heavier next time
DUs: 40/40/40

B.
11:52 Rx … this killed me, disappointed b/c this is basically Helen and well off my desired time. UB KBS & PUs, just real slow on the runs.

A1. Spent 10 minutes working on progression. Still working toward that first muscle up.
A2. 55# db alternating: 3×7
A3. Double-Unders: 30 UB, 32 UB, 36 UB

B. 17:10 : 50# kb, broke pull-ups into 3’s. Today was the first time I’ve ever done a kipping pull up; im finding it difficult to prevent shoulder blade protraction during my pull ups.

So glad to hear that your bar Muscle ups felt good! No need to push the volume today. We haven’t done them in a while. Today was more skill work. Next time, if you think you want more of a challenge, feel free to increase the rep scheme a bit.
Way to stay unbroken on that workout!

Great work today Chris. Try to touch on some of the gymnastics that we don’t do on a regular basis maybe before or after class. I know we don’t usually program Bar muscle ups in our proformance blog and you might want to throw them in from time to time 🙂

A) really enjoyed this. Did banded bar from a low bar on a squat rack (seated in bands). Loads of bands used but was great to do it this way – never done them like this before. 1st set got 3 then 2nd and 3rdgot 5 Reid each time. Did 7 reps each arm @16kg kettle bell and 40 DU’s each round.
B) 15:21 didn’t go all out but didn’t coast it either. Took it steady. Did 500m rows instead of run as can’t run from my box during office hours. Broke pull-ups into 5’s throughout – felt so heavy!
