A. 5 Minute amrap:
1 HSPU
3 Strict Pull Ups
5 calorie arms only assault bike
Rest 3 minutes x 4 sets (so 4 sets of a 5 minute amrap today)
Results = 1) 4+4, 2) 4+8, 3) 4+7, 4) 5+1
I don't think I was warmed up enough for the first set - my arms felt like LEAD, failed the 2nd HSPU which led me to be a little conservative in taking a few seconds off the bike before the next round. Even the pullups felt harder than they should have here. Chalking it up to not getting warm and getting the rust out before starting.
Rest of the sets went better. HSPUs were all good after that, it was the bike that was the hardest part - my arms just got so tired by the end of each 5 min set. Went from taking <30s to get 5 cals to taking close to 40. Really pushed on the last set - I knew I had it in me to finish 5 rounds and went for it.
B. 20 Minute Easy ski erg / bike - switch as needed
Done, all on AB using legs mostly (easy pace) - my arms wanted no part of the ski erg :)
OVERALL: Phew. Ready for rest day tomorrow. Happy with how this went. Also did a bunch of mobility on shoulders as well as the hips and low back (avoided the injured area, just making sure no major kinks develop elsewhere). Did not film the HSPUs - meant to, then wasn't sure I wanted to leave the camera running for that long, then just forgot anyway :)
Question - I am going to video them going forward. Which angle is best?
I would say best angle would be either right in front or slightly to the side to see the torso position from the wall.
