Nice work, Seth! Next time, start your working sets a little heavier – no less than 80% of where you intend to end up for the day. 225# is definitely a warm-up set for you if you’re finishing at 425#. You’re super strong!!

A. Worked up to 225 on the DLs, used a plate under the ab mat for strict HSPU and broke it up two sets of 6

B. Partner and I finished in 7:50 rx. That was a fun one!

For the HSPU, especially when they are in the strength portion, I’d recommend removing the abmat completely and doing negatives to the floor so you work the entire ROM. (Just like we do with pull-up negatives). This will help you build the strength base you need to progress to the full movement more quickly. You could also add them in after your workouts for some supplemental work. Enjoy!

A: Worked up for both deadlifts and kipping HSPU with one mat (tried to get one max set each time): 95#/5 consecutive, 135#/7 consecutive, 155#/12 consecutive, 175#/5 accumulated (tried without a mat)

B: Rx, no partner so did this as an E2MOM :55, :55, :57, 1:03, :58. Run was really slow, but I am listening to my body and giving myself time to get back.

First wod back. Three weeks postpartum. Welcomed a baby girl to our family on 8/12! Felt great today to get back into the routine of working out!

Great job, Dan! If you ever find yourself without a partner, you can always do a 1:1 work:rest interval.

A: worked out well as today was my deadlifting day anyway 🙂 so I did 5 rounds of 3 reps at 255#.
I only did 3 strict hspu to abmat/per round, they are tough for me anyway, and was getting major headache from deadlift to upside down 🙁

B: rx 5:50 solo (could have gone faster but I was dodging my son and his friend’s basketballs, volleyballs, and tennis shoes! It was like crossfit dodge ball up in there!)

So fast that Google wants to hire you! 🙂 Does HSPU work normally give you a headache?

Lol! It depends on how stressful my work day was and how many “fires” I had to put out 🙂 But it was mainly the combo of the effects of valsalva with the deads, then going upside down was messing with me yesterday.

When you don’t have a partner, try doing the workout in equal work:rest intervals. Great job!
