Another Pair Bite the Dust

I only got about 5 hours of sleep last night, but WHOOP has me at 87% recovered. Today is a cooler day and it was me by myself at the park a little after noon.

Warm-up

  • 10 Kip Swings
  • 400m Run

Gymnastics

E3M – 5 Sets

  • 11 Muscle-ups

A month and a half ago I did 44 reps in an every three minute workout of max reps after 16 in the first set. I wanted more volume today, but I’m not ready to attempt a new max set. Going for ten per minute would have only been six more total reps. By not starting with a MAX set that sounded completely doable since I’d just done five sets of eight a couple weeks ago in a workout with other movements. I went with eleven to challenge myself and because it’s a weird number.

The goal was to do each round unbroken. Ha! I was able to do the first two rounds unbroken and felt pretty good. It hit me though. 9-1-1 (not an emergency!), 8-2-1, and 6-1-1-1-1-1 for the other three rounds. I’m pleased with that. 55 reps is a lot. Nuts that before the pandemic I’d never done more than 10 unbroken and my max during a test in December was 9. Now I’m doing that many multiple times.

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 15 Push-ups
  • 10/10 yard Shuttle Sprint
  • 10 Push-ups
  • 20/20 yard Shuttle Sprint
  • 5 Push-ups
  • 30/30 yard Shuttle Sprint
  • 1:30 Rest

I did all the push-ups unbroken. My times were 55, 53, 54, 54, and 54 seconds. How’s that for consistency?

When I got home I threw the shoes in the trash. As I was running the warm-up I could feel the support was gone.
