Workout Recap - Week of November 21, 2021
Somewhat of a time-crunched week for me, but I did fit in five workouts, so there's that.
Monday
Type: Pass/Fail
Pull Ups - 1 set of 13 (pass)
Bridges - 1 set of 20 (pass)
Push Ups - 1 set of 30 (pass)
Bonus: none
This was a case of "doing something resembling a workout is better than doing nothing at all". Nothing more needs to be said about it.
Tuesday
Type: As Fast As Possible
3 sets of:
21/15/9 Lunges (each side)
21/15/9 Handstand Push Ups
21/15/9 Straight Leg Raises
Time = 9:00
Bonus: 7 close pull ups
Since forearm discomfort during handstand push ups was a hot topic last week, I figured putting an emphasis on doing more of them during my timed workouts this week might help to sort that out.
Wednesday
Type: Pass/Fail
Uneven Handstand Push Ups - 1 set of 5, each side (pass)
Isometric L-Hang - 1 set of 32 breaths (pass)
Shrimp Squats, both hands behind me - 1 set of 12, each side (pass)
Bonus: none
At least this was closer to a real workout, compared Monday.
Friday
Type: As Fast As Possible
3 sets of:
11/8/5 Pull Ups
11/8/5 Handstand Push Ups
21/15/9 Straight Leg Raises
Time = 5:15
Bonus: 13 breath isometric flexed hang
There was still a little tightness in my forearm during the handstand push ups, but it seemed to be less pronounced than it was last week, so I'll take that as a sight that I'm on the right track.
Saturday
Type: As Fast As Possible
3 sets of:
21/15/9 Handstand Push Ups
21/15/9 Bridges
21/15/9 Straight Leg Raises
Time = 8:45
Bonus: 6 chin ups
I needed plenty of breaks during the bridges. While I might be on the right track in certain areas, there's always more work to be done.
