  1. I feel as if OPT is inside my head and asks himself, "What does mike struggle with? How about Hand Stand Push ups, L pull ups and burpees." Then he bases a whole workout on those movements.

    Oh well, time to work on the weaknesses.

  2. Ha - should be a very very short wod for me as i can only do about one or two of each HSPU (still haven't figured out how to kip these) and L PUs. Any suggestions on modifications so i can at least get something out of it would be greatly appreciated.

  3. Lisa, I would recommend reducing the ROM on the HSPUs by placing several 10 lb plates on the floor and going down until your head touches the plates. The number of plates you use will depend on your strength and how far you want to extend the ladder; I do not know if it would be to get to 20 reps at a smaller ROM then stopping at 10 with a larger ROM, for example, but that is the general principle to get more out of it. You can progress when you are ready by removing a plate.

    For L pull ups, I would probably suggest kipping or jumping pullups, again depending on your ability (jumping pullups are easier). Others may have different suggestions.

  4. Lisa... how many pullups can u do?...
    u can just try them with ur knees tucked in... or someone can 'spot' ur feet with legs out (place feet on hands or shoulders but still engage ur abdominal wall)... u can also try one leg up at a time, u can alternate legs, band assisted w legs in the L position... etc... there r lots of ways or levels dep on where ur at but as my bro once told me... get comfortable with uncomfortable!...

  5. 4got suggestion on hspu... if part of the issue is shoulder stability, u could try hand stands 4 time... 5 sec /20 sec rest / 10 sec... etc (add 5 sec 2 ur handstand until u can't hold anymore)... or u could try handstand wall walks (handstand facing the wall and touch ur shoulder with ur hand, each hand 4 one rep... 2 hsww each set and increase in increments of 2 ( or one, or more 2 tailor 2 what u need)... these exercises might not get the ROM of the hspu but they r good 4 shoulder girdle stability and strengthening... u could also try assisted hspus as well as the above mentioned 'plate assisted' hspus... gd luck!...

  6. -hspu ladder 6+5
    -L-up ladder 7+2 (best form ever on these, legs completely straight, slow and controlled on the way down, tight core)

    Burpees- 7:46
    1:03 1:25 1:20 1:25 1:20 1:13

    This was the first time in along time that i questioned my mental toughness to keep giving 110% on all 6 sets for the burpees, i wanted to quit so bad but i had that voice in my head telling me its almost over...wow those were hard!

    *shoulders were limiting factor today, fridays wod smoked them and yesterday i spread 6 gallons of driveway sealer by hand for 5 hours, shoulders burning entire time...so they need a break....*

  7. Okay a bit of trial and error because still working on HSPU and L pullups...

    Did 10 handstand negatives...

    Then tried with telephone books under head so very little flexion and got to 3 in ladder.

    Finished with 2 handstand holds but only got 51sec and 36sec.

    On L pullups did ladder and got to 3

    then did kipping ladder and got to 8

    Push up burpees
    2:13
    2:05
    1:57
    1:53
    1:50
    1:47

    Total 11:50...but times were getting faster which I guess means either I got more efficient or more likely wasn't pushing hard enough at the beginning or perhaps not warmed up right?

  17. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I can do 2 or 3 to an abmat in a row so i will just work on that. It just purely a strength issue and maybe do some negatives.

    I can do one or two strict L pullups so i thought i might just sit in my rubber band and work it that way.

    thanks again.
