Workout Recap - Week of January 31, 2021
Well, I made good on starting to do some other posts, but I'm disappointed in myself that it's been almost four months since I've had a five workout week. There isn't much to be done about it aside from trying to pull myself together and break that streak.
Monday
Type: Pass/Fail
Diamond Push Ups - 2 sets of 20 (pass)
Closing Bridges - 2 set of 6 (pass)
Close Pull Ups - 2 set of 10 (pass)
Bonus: 3 handstand push ups
I'm hitting the progression targets for all three of these movements. The push ups are still a bit too rough towards the end of the second set for me to feel up to changing that, but the bridges and pull ups are both in good condition to step up the difficulty.
Tuesday
Type: Pass/Fail
Diamond Push Ups - 2 sets of 20 (pass)
Stand-to-stand Bridges, one wall touch on the way up - 2 sets of 2 (pass)
Uneven Pull Ups - 2 sets of 3, each side (pass)
Bonus: 5 burpees
Ask and ye shall receive. Both new movements felt solid. I've still got to work my way up in the rep counts, but at least it doesn't feel like I'm unsure about being able to do clean reps.
Thursday
Type: Pass/Fail
Shoulder-width Handstand Push Ups - 2 sets of 11 (pass)
Shrimp Squats - 2 sets of 5, each side (pass)
Hanging Straight Leg Raises - 2 sets of 10 (pass)
Bonus: 5 burpees
More steady progress with these movements. I'm feeling ready to start getting back to isometric L-hangs.
Saturday
Type: Pass/Fail
Diamond Push Ups - 1 set of 25 (pass)
Stand-to-stand Bridges, one wall touch on the way up - 1 set of 3 (pass)
Uneven Pull Ups - 1 set of 4, each side (pass)
Bonus: none
A single set to squeeze in when I had some time to spare. The new movements still feel good. I didn't manage to fit in a fifth workout, but all in all, I feel alright about how the week went.
