I now do ring dips without band assistance. Woohoo! Of course, they're pretty much one ... by ... slow ... one ... well, maybe three unbroken. But, still, that's one step closer to a muscle-up, right? Score! (Skoal?)
So, today's WOD was:
1RM OH squat -- 53lb. On a positive note, that is the most I have ever OH-squatted before. Still, I'm not happy with the depth, especially since I can normally whip out ass-to-grass squats. After some talk with trainer William, I foresee myself spending some time in the bottom with a bar.
Then,
AMRAP 20 minutes: 15 SDHP (65lb), 15 ring dips, 30 double unders.
Since I'm rehabbing the tibial stress fracture, I substituted 150m rows for the double unders, while keeping the rest of the workout Rx. As stated above regarding the ring dips -- look, ma, no bands!! I managed 4 full rounds, getting through 6 dips in the 5th round. While my number of rounds was low, I'm happy with the SDHP (first time to do 65lb as Rx) and with the dips (66 -- isn't that more than in the Da Dip? Perhaps I'll have to do a ring dip WOD based on the song one day).
Now I'm going to go reward myself with a nice dip ... in hot water with espom salts ... but I leave you with a comic, just in case you missed the theme of this post.
although I'm clueless to most of your fitness language, I appreciate that you understand it, and do it! And the cartoon is a perfect ending. (I guess I understood enought to get the dip!)
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that Skoal is chewing tobacco, and guessing that the other words have something to do with tortuous exercise, my guess is: They all make you sick to your stomach. Just hearing back from you is prize enough Hillary! ;-)
