Gymnastics: 8 min EMOM 4 strict pull ups 1st 2 wall walks. 2nd

WOD: 14:30 800m run 30 burpee pull ups 800m run

I didn't feel very well before/during class today. I don't know why. I ate my normal breakfast and grabbed a banana about 20 min before class. Odd.

This was a wicked shoulder workout in the Gymnastics portion. I rarely practice strict pull-ups and I struggled to get even close even while using the black band. Wall walks were a struggle too. It looks like there is work to be done.

The run was much harder than the burpee pull-ups, which is unusual. I guess I was just so glad to be able to kip the pull-ups! I think it's just that I was feeling off. The good news is that I left feeling like a million bucks. Cleared my head from a crazy week at work.

Update: This workout left me so sore in the shoulders. Wow!

Snowy Saturday

Cold toes being outside for an hour or so and really craving a round of exercise. Got an idea walking in the snowy landscape of western Sweden.

WOD for time, 21 - 15 - 9 of: v-ups strict pull-ups goblet squats (32 kg)

Result 14:29

Comments Well, I'm not super flexible so my v-ups probably doesn't look great, but I do them unbroken. Pull-ups at home must be done strict and I need to work on them. Did 6 unbroken in the beginning and ended up the third round doing singles. Goblet squat was great. 32 kg is serious business and I did them unbroken all three rounds.
