L-Sit Work then Muscle Ups in the Woods

Trying to make this GOAT work a regular activity and see if that helps to improve.

Before going out (to warm up) repeat of L-Sits from last week…

3 rounds of L-Sit Complex using low paralettes (see this post from Coach Dan)…

  • 10 x Pike Lifts
  • 10 x Pike Dips (Lift your butt)
  • 10 second Bent Knee L-Sit Hold

Then moved out to parcour to work on Bar Muscle Up progressions…

EMOM for 8 minutes of each (complete all 8 minutes of 1 exercise then move to the next for a total of 24 minutes, 2-3 minute rest between exercises).

  • 3 x Explosive Pullups (as high as possible)
  • 5 x Kipping Pulls (the back part of the kip)
  • 3 x Pullup Bar Dips (start with a jumping muscleup to get above the bar)

Ring Muscle Up progressions… EMOM for 8 minutes of each (complete all 8 minutes of 1 exercise then move to the next for a total of 16 minutes, 2-3 minute rest between exercises).

  • 15 second False Grip Hang
  • 3 x Chest to Ring Pullups

Results: L-Sits went better than last time so happy with that. Pullups were good enough, need a couple more times to see if I am progressing.

Strict Press then Front Squats and Pullups

Take 15 minutes and establish a max

  • 3 x Strict Press

Then 3 rounds of

  • 8 x Seated Strict Press @ 14kg

Then Street Parking’s WOD from December 27…

Every 2 minutes for 14 minutes

  • 7 x Front Squat @ 110lbs/50kg
  • 7 x Strict Pullups
  • 7 x Front Squat

Results: Got up to 140lbs on the Press. Metcon was tough… averaged 1:20 per round, last three rounds had to break up the Pullups but was able to keep the front squats unbroken for all rounds.

Front and Back Squats then Bear Complex and Box Jumps

5 rounds of

  • 2 x Front Squat @ 95% of 2RM

Then 3 rounds of

  • 5 x Back Squat @ same weight as above.

Then based on Day 5 of the Street Parking 12 Days of Chrismas WODs…

3 rounds for time, rest 1 minute between rounds

  • 5 x Bear Complex @ 75lbs
  • 12 x V-Ups (original is Box Jumps)
  • Repeat for a total of 3 sets

(Bear Complex = Power Clean, Front Squat, Push Press, Back Squat, Push Press or if you are going fast, Cluster plus Back Thruster.)

Results: Used 195lbs for the Front Squats. Metcon 15:42.
