Monday WOD
Tuck to HS Practice
Bench Press 5/3/1+
WOD: 5RFT of:
3 Ring HSPU
10 C2B Pull-Ups
Today
I started off with a gymnastics movement and it wasn’t pretty go figure! Then I was on the Bench which would be the
end of this cycle. I hadn’t hit a good
number last Monday and had been on a taxing hiking trip over the weekend so I
figured I was down a few lbs. I hoped
that I would get a decent number on my last set @225lbs. I ended up with six reps @225lbs nothing to
brag about but I can’t complain. Then I
came up with the following WOD on the fly five rounds for time of 3 Ring
Handstand Push-Ups and ten Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups. Neither of these movements am I particularly
good at actually I am horrible at them.
Ring Handstand push-ups are a very new movement too me and I figured why
not through them into a Wod. The ten C2B
were a low number but I figured that with the ring HSPU they would be
tough. I was right and wasn’t able to go
unbroken though all my sets. My ring
HSPU were ok but not great. I definitely
see a few faults and one of them is I’m not putting my head down. This break in my cervical spine leads to poor
position in my lumbar spine also. This
makes the movement a lot harder and more inefficient than it should be. Even some of the best in the world struggle
with this movement and have the same spinal faults. It’s just something that I’m going to have to
work on. The video is below and the
reason I picked this song because I felt like I was literally going to break my
neck on the ring handstand push-ups.
