I Can (Butter)Fly

My shoulders and abs are kind of sore. Out in the garage at about 10:30.

Warm-up

• 5:00 SkiErg (1,039m)
• 2x30s Dead Hang Partner Push
• 10 Kip Swings

Midline

4 Sets

• 120′ Uneven Farmer Carry (70 & 45# KBs)
• 8 Evil Wheels
• 10/10 Banded Rotations & Holds (blue)

Conditioning

30:00 AMRAP (Partner)

• 40 Sumo KB Deadlifts (70#)
• 20 DB Push-up + 2 Rows (40# DBs)
• 40 DB Lunges (40# DBs)
• 30 C2B Pull-ups

Done with Brandi. We each alternated two sets of 10 deadlifts, then two sets of five of the push-up plus two rows complex. I did two times 10 lunges and B did two times 15 Russian swings. For the pull-ups we alternated each doing threes sets of five pull-ups. I wanted to challenge myself with the chest to bar after sucking in that Open workout. I started out with a regular kip in round one and felt comfortable with my head not hitting the ceiling, so I thought I’d try butterfly in round two and it felt good. Certainly easier to get my chest to the bar per rep because I can use my hips and legs more. Probably the best I’ve done butterfly chest-to-bar pull-ups ever and the first time I’ve done any in over a year. I did start losing some of my kip in last two rounds but never came off the bar through a set of five even with some resets. I started first and got through five full rounds, the deadlifts and 4 of the dumbbell complex. Really grippy workout.

So ready for a rest day tomorrow!!
