Pistols were a major fail today. Left leg was assisted on the pistols after awhile, was able to finish the first set but on the second set I got up to 12 and just couldn't do any more on the left leg so Stephen let me finish them on the right. Very frustrating and took forever. Both handstand walks were unbroken which was cool. Would like to try this one again. 


EFFFFF. Today was not good. Bench press was decent, and I would have liked to get more CTB pull ups. I really need to learn how to butterfly those so I can do way more of them. I feel like I should be able to do more than 10 CTBs at a time though. The second half SUCKED. Fucking pistol squats. I did the first handstand walk unbroken which was cool then I got to the pistol squats and it was a major fail. I was able to get all of them easily on the right leg but I wasn't really going low enough on the left. Then when I tried to go lower I was failing, so eventually I started using a 10# plate to help and I was able to finish the first round of pistols but they were slow as shit. The farmers walk was fast, and the rope climbs were probably the fastest I have ever done them. Once I got back to the pistols everything fell apart. I was failing multiple reps on the left leg, I was getting a few but then would fail a few. It was so frustrating, especially since I just did pistols a few weeks ago and they were fine. EFF. Eventually I got to the 12th rep and just could not get any more on the left leg, my leg was tired from all the attempts and it was just getting worse so Stephen let me finish the rest of the pistols on the right leg. I did the second handstand walk unbroken too. But the pistols overall just sucked and were extremely frustrating. I don't think I warmed up enough for those, and I don't practice them enough. I need to take it upon myself to do extra skill work every day. Also I am not used to doing them in my regular shoes, I always do them in my olympic shoes but I didn't wear olympic shoes due to the rope climbs, which is my fault because i should be practicing them in my nanos as well. I'm going to start working on them every day. Arggggg.
