I have some great news - for the first time ever I completed legit, competition grade HSPUs! I started with two pads and went up on the wall and got my entire body off the wall except for my heels. I had no problem with the movement. I then removed one pad and used just one pad + a 10 lb plate. That is 4 inches and is the age 60+ standard. I went up easily each time and did sets of 3, 5,5, and 3. I might be able to get as many as 10-15 at a time. I probably need to arch my back a little more to keep my heels more firmly on the wall
I worked on hamstring/hip flexibility with Jon and he helped me a lot. My squats were much deeper and cleaner afterwards. More centered as well.
I hung from the pull-up bar for a total of 5 minutes. That one arm stuff is a little advanced for me but I worked on it. I tried working on my T2B movement but my hands are still blistered from yesterday's rowing so I didn't have much luck.
Finally I worked on my OHS. It went okay. I want to be able to pop off 10 @ 65lbs pretty quickly and I got 10@ 45 but had to pause around 7 reps with 65. I tried twice. It will come with practice.
So at this point my three weakest moves are 1) T2B - I can do them but not kipping style, so it is slow; 2) OHS/Snatch is weak (will work on shoulders) and 3) I have not tried kipping hspu's since I have mastered the strict. I probably need to know how to do that when the Open rolls around. Good news is that I can get through all three but not at the speed I want.
Hey - I know you have a Friday workout for me and I would like to do it but I did promise Pat I would do Fridays with her. Depending on what it is I may not do the row and do 13.2 later that day
