Nice consistency on the PP and super proud of you for the volume accumulation on the strict pull-ups! Those will help you out down the line.

Took today for active recovery:
8 minutes each of Assault Bike, Row, Run, Slide Board at about 50-60% effort. Finished with 3×10 of air squat, pushups, strict pullups, glute ham raises and GHD situps.
Felt good to move, looking forward to tomorrow.

Nice job Kate! Next time if you slip off the bar, hop back up so that you get the volume accumulation and practice of the pullup rhythm. Love that you did some back squatting!

Nice job on getting double figures on the first few sets of pull-ups. If your quads bug you during push presses, next time try strict pressing either standing or seated so the shoulders can still get some strength work in.

Nice work Jim. Lets see if we can get you practicing those pull-ups a couple more times a week until you can successfully get 15-20 in a row.

Those look super fun! For the clean and jerk one here is my recommendation. Athlete 1: 9 c and j Athlete 2: 50 Dus Athlete 1: 40 Dus Athlete 2: 9 c and J Athlete 1: 50 Dus Etc. You could follow that rotation if you guys can keep that up. If you find that one of you is beginning to fatigue a little faster you guys could alternate reps on the clean and jerk or switch complete rounds. If I were you I would practice with your partner and see which method is most efficient and leaves you guys… Read more »
