This week was about a return to normalcy. That is to say I wanted a mixture of timed and pass/fail workouts, plus a weekend challenge. In that respect, it was a success. The actual results were subpar, but I'm sure that'll correct itself in due time.
Monday
Type: Pass/Fail
Shoulder-width Handstand Push Ups - 2 sets of 10 (pass)
Uneven Pull Ups - 2 sets of 6, each side (pass)
Pistol Squats - 2 sets of 5, each side (pass)
Bonus: 5 breath isometric one-armed dead hang (each side)
This was a good start.
Tuesday
Type: As Fast As Possible
5 sets of:
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Prisoner Squats
Time = 5:15
Bonus: 10 bridges
On the surface, this was a slight dip from what I did last week. That said, my actual performance felt better. My energy level was far steadier, my breathing wasn't as labored by the end, and I just had a better sense of control over myself throughout.
Wednesday
Type: Pass/Fail
Pistol Squats, both hands behind me - 1 set of 6, each side (pass)
Bonus: 4 sets of 3 two-way suicide jumps
My arms (especially the left one) were pretty sore after the last two workouts, so I toned things down for today and just focused on my legs. It was simple but good, especially with the return of suicide jumps.
Friday
Type: As Fast As Possible
5 sets of:
5 Chin Ups
10 Bridges
20 Mountain Climbers
Time = 6:15
Bonus: 7 pull ups
I realized that I hadn't been bridging regularly of late, so I tried to start rectifying that with this workout. Beyond that, it was a simple yet effective timed workout. As with the previous one, the end result was slower than I would've liked, but the process was what I wanted.
Saturday
Type: As Fast As Possible
6 sets of:
6 Pull Ups
6 Burpees
6 Bridges
Time =8:45
Bonus: 5 handstand push ups
Honestly, something felt off with me right from my warmup with this one. Getting within 75% of my personal best despite that is a win in its own right.
