Keep working those L-sits and Hollow holds! Supplement your warm-ups with these movements. Great way to accumulate volume and activate your core 🙂

Good work today!! It was a tough one!

A. Muscle ups (rings): 10/7/7
Handstand Wall Walks for 45 sec.
L-Sit 20/10/10/5 sec
B. So I had to piece this one together today because of equipment and space. Wall mounted pull up bar kept me from doing burpee T2B and bar muscle ups. No where to run inside either.
So I did using the same time scheme:
5 Burpees
5 Toes 2 Bar
20 Cal Assault Bike
Max Ring Muscle Ups: Got 5/6/5/6/6
….get my surgery tomorrow so it will be a few weeks before I start back into the programming. Keep up the hard work everyone.

Way to listen to your body Amber. No need to double up tomorrow! This is your body telling you something. You need a mental and physical restoration day. 🙂

No high rings at my gym, so muscle ups are tricky. Have to do “strict” with a baby hip drive.
A1.2 per round A2. 15m wall walk A3. L-sit on rings sets of 15-20sec
B. As Rx w/C2B’s- 13, 13, 14, 13, 15
Need to learn the bar muscle up one of these days….

Thanks so much Chris! The roll to candlestick is a starting point to practice staying tight in a hollow position, and then practicing a fast transition without leaving the feet out infant which is a common fault made by many athletes leading to a failed transition. Let us know how it goes Bryan.
