Modified Helen

A little tired from yesterday but ready for it today.

warmup

5 min skipping, the DU's are finally coming! really starting to feel them now.

Gymnastics level 3 (intermediate)

Day 2

Upper body pulling

5 sets

weighted pullups x 3

muscle up rows x 2

Core/lower back

tuck L-sit on rings 10 seconds

tuck/straddle press to headstand x 3

The pullups were really hard today for some reason, the first 3 rounds I used a 30lb dumbbell and for the last 2 I just did BW.

muscle up rows were fine, I could probably have made them harder.

L-sit on the rings was pretty easy as well. The tuck to handstand was quite difficult, def looking forward to being able to do a full press to handstand some time in the near future.

WOD

modified Helen

3 rounds

row 400m

21 KB swings

12 pullups

Time = 10:23

This was a killer! Again I was trying to get a sub 10 on it but it just wasn't happening today. My pull ups are by far my biggest weakest link, especially when I am fatigued. I just cannot maintain the swing. The first round was something like 3 4s the 2nd was 4 3s and in the last round I actually managed 5 butterfly kips without even trying, it just kind of happened. I was really happy with this.

As with a lot of the other bench mark WODs involving pullups I feel as though I will crush my times when my pullups improve.

light stretch for cool down
