Workout Recap - Week of December 9, 2018
This was mostly a good week for me. There isn't really any specific thing I can point to as the reason why that's the case, but it just felt good overall.
Sunday
Type: As Fast As Possible
100 Burpees
Time = 12:00
Bonus: none
It'd been a while since I did this, so I'll admit that the prospect was a bit intimidating on approach. Once I got over that and just went ahead with it, though, I feel like it went quite well. The total time was certainly respectable, and I was almost able to do three minisets of twenty to start it out (ended up having to take my third breath break at 56).
Tuesday
Type: As Fast As Possible
11/8/5 Pull Ups
11/8/5 Handstand Push Ups
11/8/5 Burpees
Time = 6:00
Bonus: 20 breath dead hang
This was inspired by last week's Thursday workout, although the change from pistol squats to burpees obviously made it much easier. That made this too easy, truth be told, but I like the general setup enough that I think I'll keep tinkering with finding the right challenge point for it.
Wednesday
Type: Pass/Fail
One-armed Push Ups, feet together - 2 sets of 5, each side (pass)
Stand-to-stand Bridges, one wall touch on the way up - 2 sets of 4 (pass)
Hanging V-Raises - 2 sets of 9 (pass)
Bonus: 4 sets of 3 half-Aztec push ups, 20 breath dead hang
Same numbers as last time for this. I was feeling uninspired on this day.
Friday
Type: As Fast As Possible
5 sets of:
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Prisoner Squats
Time = 5:00
Bonus: 20 breath dead hang
This was a disappointing result. I'd really felt like I was going faster while I was doing it, but that was just an illusion. The bonus was also incredibly lacking in creativity.
Saturday
Type: Pass/Fail
Shoulder-width Handstand Push Ups - 2 sets of 14 (pass)
Towel Pull Ups - 2 sets of 10 (pass)
Pistol Squats, both hands behind me - 2 sets of 5, each side (pass)
Bonus: 2 sets of 3 two-way suicide jumps
In complement to last week's progress with this, I pushed a bit further with the handstand push ups and pistol squats this time. I'm going to hold steady for a bit on the former, though, since it felt like I need to time to adjust to being inverted for that long.
