Today’s workout was fucking hard to say the least. It started out with some skill but just got harder after that:

Part A.) 3 Sets (not for time)

(10-15m) x Handstand Walk - 15,15,15

6-Strict Ring Pull Ups - 6,6,6 (subbed for Rope Climb)

30sec-L Sit - 30sec,30sec,30sec

I felt pretty good with my HSW today, my initial walks were almost all 15m. I actually got the 2nd set all in at once.

Part B.) 5 Sets for Max Reps

30sec-Pull Ups

60sec-Rest

31-28-25-21-23=128

This was annoying to do by myself for timing purposes. The last couple of rounds were real tough but I just made sure to get above 20. I was pretty happy with this effort. But I knew it was going to make the next part tough.

Part C.) 5 Sets

8-Handstand Push Ups

12-Ring Dips

16-Hand Release Push Ups

2min-Rest

1:02-2:15-2:33-3:04-3:16

Wow was this hard! This combination is just like the workout JT but those release push ups are always tougher. They put a lot of strain on the shoulders. I got my first 3 sets of HSPU unbroken and barely split the 4th round but the 5th was a mess. I was amazed how much harder the workout was from round one to round two. I’m definitely not too great at these type of workouts.

Part D.)

2K-Row @ 85%

7:39.6

I actually did this twice. I’m not really good with longer rows and especially hate the 2K row. My PR is 7:28.6 so an 85% effort was a 8:35 2K which was really slow and slower then my warm up pace. So I did it again later in the day and tried to stay at about 1:55 for my 500m pace. Probably a little too hard considering yesterdays workout crushed my quads and gluts but I need to get better at this.
