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.
