Take 15 to 20 minutes to work on L-Sit progressions and Handstand Walks.

Then 3 rounds, resting as needed between rounds.

  • 5 x Bench Press @ 175lbs

Then for time, scaled Diane

  • 21-15-9 x Deadlift @ 185lbs
  • 15-12-9 x Handstand Pushups

Results: Handstand Walks suddenly seem to be working out really well. Was able to walk 4 x 2-3m consistently. Need to work on my leg positioning now to bring them closer together.

Bench Press as prescribed. Metcon 8:58.

Gymnatics Work then Row, HSPU, Pullups and

Comments Off on Gymnatics Work then Row, HSPU, Pullups and

Adapted version of the CF Invictus Workout from August 16, 2019.  Adapted since I don’t have space to do full ring or bar muscle ups so this should help to maintain the strength and skill needed. 

Every 2 minutes for 18 minutes

  • Muscle Up Transitions from Plank x Max Reps in 45 seconds
  • Handstand Walk x Max Steps in 45 seconds
  • L-Sit x 45 seconds accumulated

For the MU transitions, do the first of the 3 progressions shown in this video. Don’t cheat on the false grip, undoubtedly the most important part of the muscle up.

Then EMOM for 20 minutes (4 rounds of each)

  • Row for Calories
  • Max Reps Handstand Pushups
  • Max Reps Ring Pullups (with False Grip)
  • Max Reps Ring Dips
  • Rest 1 minute

Results:  For the first part, the transitions worked well, did about 5-6 per round.  The handstand walks went very well 18 steps in one secton (10 in one direction 8 back).  L-Sits with bent knees.  For the second part Row 8/8/7/7, HSPU 10/8/6/5, Pullups 3/3/2/2, Dips 12/12/12/8.
