I have a love, hate relationship with pull-ups...well, mostly hate. I must conquer them one day!! It's the only way I can learn to love them. It may take me a long time, but I must. I know I need to slim down a lot more. Without the right combination of body weight and muscle, I will continue to struggle.
So....as far as today's work out....I did the standard Crossfit warm up.
(Pimbo, if you are reading this, the Crossfit warm up is: 3 rounds of 10-15 reps of: Samson Stretch (do the Samson Stretch once each round for 15-30 seconds)Overhead Squat with broomstick, Sit-up, Back-extension, Pull-up, Dips.
I do supermans instead of the back-extensions, jumping pull-ups/negatives, and push-ups instead of dips.)
I completed 3 rounds of the warm-up with 15 reps of each.
We are catching up on WOD's (Crossfit work out of the day) so we did Sunday's today as well. It is:
For time:15 Handstand push-ups,1 L Pull-up13 Handstand push-ups ,3 L Pull-ups,11 Handstand push-ups,5 L Pull-ups,9 Handstand push-ups,7 L Pull-ups,7 Handstand push-ups,9 L Pull-ups,5 Handstand push-ups,11 L Pull-ups,3 Handstand push-ups,13 L Pull-ups,1 Handstand push-up,15 L Pull-ups.
I had a busy day and went to bed late last night, so I had a hard time working out tonight...so I did what I felt comfortable doing. Since I can't do hand stand push-ups, I substituted the reps for shoulder presses. I just used the 15 lb bar.
(Like I said...I'm a struggler tonight) I skipped the pull-ups all together. (The pull-ups in the warm up were enough for me today.) Not much, but I feel good. ~Jen
