Post: Tried to work on butterfly/deadhang but hands were raw from the pullups.
Post-post: Working on my one-arm handstand. I have the strength on the right side but not quite there with balance. Left arm a little ways off.
Post-post-post: HSPUs to 1 ab mat, two in a row.
Post-post-post-post: 10x1 20# WB to 10'

I've been taking it easy this week so it was only my second time. I had energy today but I guess only 5 reps at 215#. Last cycle, I had 6 reps at that weight.
This might be my fastest metcon to date. I did the first 12 pullups in a row. Second set was 6-6. Third set was in 2s/3s with a set of 4 at the beginning. Burpees were as quick as I could get them. Run was faster than usual but needs work to get faster. Overall, quite pleased with today.
Lots of posts. Turns out resting all week gives you a lot of energy...
