1/20

I had to combine the am and pm.  My back was still really sore from something I did Saturday - kbs?  Not sure but I needed a few hours and more mobility before I was ready to go.   Just so you will know, this was a day filled with things I am not good at.  I suppose it is a good thing to work on what you need to improve on.

I did the snatch balances.  3 EMOM for 15 minutes.  I did five sets of 65, four sets of 75, three of 85, three of 95.  I know they look rough but I felt like I was getting just a bit lower than I was previously.  This is a work in progress.

Next were strict hspus.  I used 4 inches - 60+ standard.  I started out well, doing 6, 5, 4, 4, 4 sets of 3, then five sets of two, then singles.  I had 25 at 5:30, then 50 at 13:05.  Realistically I got about 38 then it was mostly negatives with a few actual ones mixed in.  The thing I need to focus on is locking my elbows when i start.  I have gotten strong enough to begin the series of hspus from bent elbows, but that sure does waste a lot of energy.  But only twice did I not get into a decent position from a standing start.  I have gotten a lot better.

Finally the negative muscle ups.  I don't know what my problem is.  Maybe my shoulders were entirely cooked.  You can see from the video how bad it was.  I do think I am getting closer to "turning the rings" to the point where I can lower down from the rings in a controlled manner.

I am getting little antsy to do some Open style workouts.  Just thought I would let you know.
