Accumulate, for quality:
10 chin ups
10 ring dip negatives (5 sec)
10 S.HSPU negatives (5 sec)
10 rope climbs
20 TTB
20 kipping pullups

Chin ups were solid – quality felt consistent across reps, rested approx. 90sec between.

Both ring dip negatives and S.HSPU negatives felt great, strong throughout reps. HSPU were slow and controlled throughout entire RoM – was really happy w/how these felt.

Rope climbs good – worked on pulling less w/biceps and pushing more w/legs.

TTB 😦 these were yikes – feet were pretty far away from the bar on most reps. I did practice a few more after the pull-ups and they were better/closer. I think I was lacking tension in first attempts/reps.

Pullups – these were strong, I did them in fast sets of 2 or 3. Kip felt good and was happy that these were solid after the TTB were not so great.

=moved my hands a bit farther away from the wall, super helpful! This is the best these have felt, was able to sustain longer and feel that balance point much more
C. Accumulate 30 lunge kick-ups into the wall
*goal is to feel a balance point where your legs come together before reaching the wall. Think of kissing the wall with both of your heels vs. reaching the wall with force w/ 1 leg. Set your arms before beginning your lunge- biceps my ears and press up!

=strong today (improvement over last week w/more balance/control before hitting wall) did in sets of 6-8.
D. Accumulate 20 free-standing kick ups (keep lunge technique)

=similar to last week, struggled with confidence moving away from the wall. I basically did the same as the kick ups but moved another foot away from the wall. I had solid freestanding holds doing both C+D but when I try and do completely away from the wall it’s like it all falls apart. 🙂 working on it haha

1mile = 8:49 – Dang I was pretty stoked about this! I’m pretty sure that’s a PR mile time. Felt pretty good too, the way the route works there was 3 passes on the longer hill for the mile. I don’t feel like I struggled too terribly maintaining pace here. Breathing was good up until the last pass or last 200m I felt like I started burning a bit but mentally I knew I was almost done so it was easy to manage.

The 200m’s were tough, breathing/legs burny and slightly fatigued. I felt less tightness/fatigue/restriction when trying to run faster than in weeks past and less pain/soreness afterwards as well.

**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGSdeOvpc-Q

C1. 15 barbell frog hip thrusts x 3, rest as needed
*same load as last week

AMRAP 30 min @ sustainable effort:
1k row

2k C2bike
50 box step overs (unloaded) @ 24″

Finished 1 full round + through 1350m of C2 bike in second round. I had time so I completed the remainder of the second round (finished 34:20).

Felt solid, dang I missed that ski erg 🙂 kept a 2:12 pace on both rows, 2:20-2:22 on ski, 2:16 on C2. Breathing felt good throughout never felt like I was dying/over exerting. Step ups were good, I think these will help be with footwork getting over box quicker/more efficiently. Tried to keeps steps as minimal as possible and keep my body low vs standing all the up.

=Did these to a 20″ box this week (about an inch or so higher than last week) I was struggling with the eccentric last week so wanted to focus on that. They were a bit “easier” but I feel like the purpose is the slow/controlled descent, which, was much stronger this week. Booty was still burny!

D. Accumulate 20 free-standing kick ups (keep lunge technique)

=I still did this “near” the wall – I moved farther away but still had it there to fall into – I haven’t really ever done a completely free-standing handstand so I think not having the wall at all mentally makes it harder for me but I know having it there as a safety and me knowing that it’s there doesn’t allow me to build the confidence. I also think I need to practice “falling” out of a handstand. I did have a few really solid 2-3 second controlled completely free-standing holds, a first ever for me! Wahooo

Super happy about the consistency here. The third and 4th felt the most challenging, I’m really learning that the challenge is more mental for me. The 4th interval vs. the 1st was basically the same time, yet the 4th felt so much slower – halfway through I told myself it was going to hurt more and tried to pay attention to that feeling. It’s interesting to notice that as far as like physically taxing on my body it wasn’t that much more difficult (yes I was a bit more tired) but I was recovering the same and still felt fresh it just felt harder and therefore I was slowing down. Learning how to tap into that push and what it feels like for me! #runlearns

Times = 5:04/3:22/4:39

This was really fun and challenging, I liked the format a lot bc there wasn’t much rest but just enough to force me to move fast every round. The BFB were probably the most efficient for me or felt the best and most consistent across sets. I wasn’t quite fully recovered at 3min which I was happy about, trying to work on (when I can at the moment energy wise with this cut) tapping into going AFAP when I have those rest breaks and noticing how the recovery feels. The BBJO were (and usually are) a little more awkward for me, Ansley is super fast at them, it took me a minute to find a good footwork pattern, I think I still take too many steps in this but the sets got better as I went. Started to feel fatigued (arms/upper body mostly) into the last set of 100 reps. Breathing was good, I felt a little more energy today – I had a small refeed yesterday 🙂 I think that helped.
