I went into the Gym today not planning on doing much but wanting to be productive. I went to work on checking some more disciplines off of the skills chart. I took myself through a thorough warm-up and once I was good and sweaty, I spent about 20 minutes randomly working on some things. It wasn't a ton of work but it was nice to spend some time on more of those nemesis exercises and I was able to check two skills off of the chart. Here's what the day looked like:
-1000m row, 3:25 (about 75% effort)
-42 second handstand hold
-100 air squats unbroken, 2:43
-16 bar dips unbroken
-400m run, 1:16
-46 second handstand hold
-100 sit-ups unbroken, 4:16
-500m row, 1:58 (about 50% effort)
I'm both encouraged and frustrated with my effort today. On the positive side, I was able to cross the squats (100 air squats unbroken for level 2) and run (400m run in under 1:18 for level 3) off the skills chart. But, I still can't seem to get that damn handstand hold (1 minute hold for level 2). And I was expecting to kill the dips (20 bar dips unbroken for level 2) but was surprised to only get 16 before I failed. Funny, both those categories highlight press/push strength which I've known has been a weakness for some time but still haven't spent a lot of extra time working on. I'll be looking to give a lot of attention to it the next few weeks.
