Tuesday May 29th

Feeling quite sore from Murph, but not as bad as last year where I legitimately could not move for 2 days.

Posted a video here..of WOD1

I did a douple dip today because I know the "death by" rep format usually is more of a practice session for me, not a ridiculously taxing one, since there is a lot of rest built in.

I did "Death by Atlas Stones" in the video above per StrongmanWOD.com from last week. I wanted to try that one out. I am definitely getting stronger. I could not do the 145# stone with a "one-timer" pull before today. Today I ripped it 27 times with no failed reps. Really happy.

For the second WOD, as promised last week, I am getting back to "goats"..
Today I chose two opposite body parts to fuck with. Pistols and kipping HSPU.

I suck at pistols and I literally have never tried kipping HSPU, so today was as good a day as any to try it.
I saw so many people successful with this at Regionals on Friday that it motivated me to just give it a shot and try to perfect it eventually..
My pistols I did with a 10lb plate beneath my heel, which is better than the 15 lb plate I usually use. So, progress?
Next time I will try a small 5lb change plate and see how that goes..

I got to minute 6 + 6 reps on the stones, and I got to minute 8 or so on the Pistols/HSPU, but then I started back over and practiced some more.

Wendy did not know I was taking some video to check my form so she appears toward the end right in front. whoops..

My back is getting too much curvature on the HSPU, need to get more hollow on those.. and get everything more organized.. Oh well, good for a first try at something new, especially since gymnastics are not my thing.
