Today was a day for shenanigans.
Back squats
165 x 5
165 x 5
165 x 5
165 x 5
165 x 5
Then, I took a page from CF Ithaca and Judd and got a little wacky:
Without letting go of the bar:
1 deadhang pull up
1 kipping pull up
1 toes to bar
1 knees to elbows
Rest 30 seconds
Do a set of 2 of each movement
Rest 30 seconds
Do a set of 3 of each movement
The thirty-second “rests” were beyond doubt the hardest part; big surprise, eh? I got through the first two rounds, and then maybe 5-10 seconds into the second rest before I fell off the bar. The way my arms felt afterwards was new and indescribable.
So naturally, I went and did some Turkish get-ups.
40 x 1 (each side)
45 x 1 (each side)
That’s a new PR. I can go higher.
