Just when I thought I was done with bar work and ripping up my hands....this workout happens:
Mainsite WOD:
For time:
Run 800 meters
10 rounds of the couplet:
Pull-up, 10 reps
Ring dip, 10 reps
Run 800 meters
Time - 23:06
So the 800 meter run was fine, but when it came time for the pull ups I realized there was no way I was cranking out 10. So I chipped away at what I could and substituted with jumping ring dips as well. I did have to stop once again because the bandage wrap I put on myself wasn't holding up and I had to get the gymnast paws. But I finished it, therefore I'm better than when I started.
Gymnastics WOD
PRACTICE for 10 minutes:
So what this workout involved was rolling onto your back and from that position push up into a handstand and letting your feet fall behind you. Now since I have yet to build up the strength to push myself from the ground up in a handstand postition, I figured I'd substitute the workout with just practicing handstand push ups for 10 minutes. This went okay, not great by any means. Certain bodyweight exercises I can't do yet like the ring dips, and handstand push ups I tend to get a little impatient with. I think its the frustration that I'm not in control of my own body in certain aspects yet. But I've progressed a lot in 1 month and I know the skill will come with more practice and more patience.
Until tomorrow,
-Pat
