Wow. Today was.....hard. Going into this workout, I wasn't sure how well I was going to do. My main concern was the muscle ups, considering my non false grip MUs have been hit or miss lately. I was afraid that I would be stuck on the rings failing a bunch of reps. I was pretty nervous before we started because I just wanted to get through everything. It actually went a lot better than I thought it would. I got all the muscle ups and they felt great, I was so happy about that! The snatches were good, I broke them up into singles but none of them felt heavy. Toes to bar were interesting...I had to break them up into sets of 5 the first round and sets of 4 the second round because I could feel my hands ripping so I had to come off the bar sooner than I would have liked. The handstand push ups were pretty tough...I have definitely gotten worse at those for sure. By the time I got to those, my arms and shoulders were already shot  from the muscle ups and snatches. I basically had to do those 5 at a time until the last few were in sets of 2s and 3s. Ugh. They actually felt better the second time around, as did the wall balls. I wasn't sure how those were going to go because I have never used a 20# ball to do wall balls but it actually wasn't terrible. I have been doing so many WB lately I am basically numb to them at this point. They felt a lot easier the second time around. The KB swings sucked, it took me a lot longer to do them the second time. It was one of those workouts where during the first round I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it through a second round of everything. I just wanted to get all the muscle ups and get everything done. I am really happy with how I did, I got all the muscle ups, no fails, and I'm just proud I finished this workout and was able to push through. It was fun getting to work out with the invictus people too, it felt like we were all in it as a group and pushing each other. Really happy with how this went today.
