HRV: 103
HR: 46
AM Training:
20 EROM HSPU
20 Bar Muscle Ups
20m HS Walk x 4
20 L-Pullups
Result: 11:07
Notes: Couldn't really get motivated to warm-up this morning. Maybe its because of the type of workout I was going into. Did about 20 minutes of mobility, ran through the movements for 3 reps each and then got to work. HSPU felt good but didn't push too hard because I didn't want to burn out. Muscle ups felt better than last week but I knew I wasn't going unbroken so I broke into three sets. I was a little dissapointed on how the HS walks went because I got really overextened and wasn't able to string together longer efforts like I usually. Then again, I usually to crush my arms ahead of time and then go farther than I ever have before. Need to work on keeping the midline more stable and loading the back of the shoulders. Grinded through the L-Pullups but I have to admit the ROM sucked. L5-S1 was toasted afterward so I did a good amount of decompression afterward.

Notes: Felt good warming up though my lower back was still a little flared up. Warmed up with some Z1, then wall balls, and finished up with mobility. Did a few pullups and clean and jerks and got to work. Went unbroken on the first set, then broken on the G2O. For the first time in a workout I tried riding the bar down from overhead to the ground. Though the hips were higher in the pull, it was less taxing. I don't know if this would work with heavier weights. Started breaking up the CTB after the 3rd round because I was sweating too much it was tough to grip the bar. Overall the C2B didn't feel great, probably because of the work I did in the morning. Regardless, I thought I paced the runs well hitting the 1:55 mark each time in a hot mid-day sun. Was able to push hard at the end to finish the half round. The last 24 hurt pretty good, but it only took about 3 minutes, but I was fully recovered after.
Went to the second workout, which is usually very bad after a tester like the one I did prior, but I was pleasantly surprised about how good it felt. Burpees were effortless. Hips were really loose so pushing off the ground was easy. Double unders were unbroken. The row was interesting. I tried low cadence high intensity pulls on the rower to keep it at 1:55-2:00. I was able to keep my heart rate much lower and it wasn't nearly as aerobically taxing. I noticed this the other day when doing my HICT and decided to try it in a workout and it really worked, though the interval was only 250m. I am going to be doing longer intervals on the weekend and my roomate John just got a new C2 trainer so I will compare a higher cadence and lower effort to the contrary. Felt good after today's workout.
