ME Monday: HSPUs

"Skill": 3 x ME HSPU (2 strict, 2 strict, 3 kipping all to one ab mat)
Metcon rx'd: 4 rounds of 42 DU / 21 KBS (1 pood) / 12 pistols / 400m run
20:30

Post: worked on kipping HSPUs... got to a set of 7 kipping HSPUs (PR) to one ab mat

Not quite warmed up for the ME HSPU sets so I ended up working on it a bit more after. PR is 5 strict to 1 ab mat so way off today.
Metcon was fine. Good push from Jamie (who I wasn't going to catch) and Noel (who I caught up to and tried to stay in front of). KBS unbroken. Pistols were toughest after a few rounds... tough to balance and had to redo a bunch of reps.

New stuff to work on

Cycle 2 Week 3: Back Squat 1RM + 5%
5 reps @ 40% (65#)
5 reps @ 50% (80#)
3 reps @ 60% (95#)
5 reps @ 75% (120#)
3 reps @ 85% (135#)
1+ reps @ 95% (150#): 3 reps

Metcon: 10 min AMRAP of 6 pistols (3 per leg) / 12 sit ups
8 rounds + 3 pistols

Post: 3 x 6 push ups
Post-post: Attempted throwing a 20# WB to the 10ft mark and attempted a one-arm hand stand. New goals!

Squats were only okay today. I tried really hard to get a fourth rep but after hanging out at the bottom for way too long, I just couldn't stand up with the weight.
AMRAP was fun. I did pistols in a WOD for the first time. I tried my best to make them all legit but I'm sure I didn't quite get depth on a few. I also re-did quite a few because I fell over. Did these in weightlifting shoes for added stability.
I'm pretty close to the 10ft mark for that 20# WB but it's not quite there. Work on explosiveness.
I can finally lift one hand off the ground, both sides. Need to figure out balance to get that hand stand on one arm.
