  2. A: Hit 430!! PR!
    * Even though I was extremely sore today, squats still felt good!

    B: 80#! Another 10# PR!
    * We haven't done this in a long time so I'm glad I still got stronger!

    C:
    - 34 pullups (27 unbroken/ PR)
    - 3 strict hspu (unfortunately couldn't get any without the abmat)
    - 11 hspu (shoulders were worn down, but I was still ok with this)
    - 24 ring dips (this were good but my rings were a little low but that's my fault)

    D: Went on a light 1 mile run after to get some blood moving.

  3. A: A PR of 180!! Creeping closer to that 200 mark.

    B: 10# which is great considering pullups are not a strength.

    C:
    Pullups: 17 *Just had a hard time finding a rhythm
    Strict HSPU: 5 *Getting better at these for sure
    HSPU: 10 *Really thankful to kip after the strict*
    Ring Dips: 15 *But they aren't clean. I struggle to get up so I tend to use a toe

  4. A: 405
    B: 80... Hahaha thought it was 125. Don't ask me how besides I can't count.
    C: 30
    4 haha. Doing handstand pushups on my
    fist sucks. Wrist still hurts.
    5....not any better. Did them on dumbbells.
    22. Only good thing I did.

  5. A: 240

    B: 10#
    * These are really hard for me considering the fact that I already have a lot of weight to pull up to begin with but the good thing about these is that before we did this, I wasn't able to do a strict pullup and now I can!

    C:
    - 19 pull ups
    - 5 strict HSPU
    - 10 hspu
    - 3 ring dips
    * My pullups have gotten much better and more fluid. The issue that I'm having is that when I pullup, I end up away from the bar and it causes my swing to get out of sync. This makes me spend more energy resetting the swing at the bottom. I still fatigue quickly, so I am only able to get 4 unbroken, but I'm hoping to get passed that soon.

    * I may not have gotten a lot of ring dips, but I did them Rx for the first time so it's still a big accomplishment for me. I'm very happy with my improvement with these.
