Workout Recap - Week of May 5, 2019
If last week was one of great highs, this week was one of feeling one step behind the whole time. Something seemed to catch me on the back foot each day, so the end result is that I did five workouts yet didn't really feel like I did a single complete workout. Alas, but as ever, the only path is to forge onward.
Sunday
Type: Pass/Fail
One-armed Push Ups, feet together - 1 set of 12, each side (pass)
Uneven Pull Ups - 1 set of 10, each side (pass)
Pistol Squats, both hands behind me - 1 set of 8, each side (pass)
Bonus: 2 sets of 3 two-way suicide jumps, 5 pull ups
Abbreviated workouts are the theme of the week. Within that constraint, though, I'm pretty happy with how this went.
Tuesday
Type: As Fast As Possible
5 sets of:
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Prisoner Squats
Time = 4:30
Bonus: none
A repeat from last Friday, which held steady. Fair enough, I suppose.
Wednesday
Type: Pass/Fail
Close Handstand Push Ups - 1 set of 8 (pass)
Stand-to-stand Bridges, one wall touch on the way up - 1 set of 10 (pass)
Skin-the-cats - 1 set of 7 (pass)
Bonus: 2 sets of 6 half-Aztec push ups
Basically the same comment as the previous day.
Friday
Type: As Fast As Possible
3 sets of:
10 Pull Ups
10 Handstand Push Ups
Time = 4:15
Bonus: 3 wall walks
In a week of mostly lackluster workouts, this was a little high spot. That's a solid chunk of work for my forearms and upper back.
Saturday
Type: As Fast As Possible
50 Burpees
Time = 4:15
Bonus: none
By all rights, I should've had time to do my usual 100 burpees today, but extenuating circumstances held my day hostage, so I settled for this. I've got my mind set to make up for it next week.
