Circuit x 7
--ring pull-ups x 5
--1-arm cinder block swing x 5 each arm
--medicine ball plyo push-ups x 5
--knee tucks x 5
Time: 22:34
Notes:
--I finally figured out how to best setup my Elite rings under my deck today, so now I'm not limited to doing pull-ups inside. However, pull-ups continue to be a limiting factor in my conditioning.
--According to the Interwebz, a cinder block weights approximately thirty pounds. Add the less-than-optimal grip and oddball shape (I became really aware of how much clearance those sharp edges and corners were getting), and it becomes a nice chunk of weight. I did use some heavy-duty gardening gloves for this.
--The other two movements were pretty straightforward and without anything of note.
--I'd hoped to get in ten rounds of this circuit, but the world started getting a little flashy toward the end of the sixth round, so I decided to call it a day after seven. At least I was in the shade for this one, and though I did time it, my goal right now is to add capacity before cutting time.
--I read more of Balance today, and I think I'm going to put together a couple warm-ups and cool-downs to use on my strength days just to help with assymetries that I know are affecting my performance right now.
