I feel like I did the AM session incorrectly. I think I started out too fast because my two middle splits were too close together. I should have started closer to a 2:13-2:15 pace and then I would have been able to drop the last split a bit lower. As soon as I rowed the first 500 I was like ehhhh oops. I would like to do this again and try to get the last 500 down to around 1:57-1:58. 

Glute-ham sit ups are getting much easier, I haven't been sore at all this week. Huzzah! Muscle ups from the rafters were interesting, the first set was very awkward because I was swinging all over the place but the second two sets were better. I actually think it's easier to get a bigger swing on those rings since the straps are longer, I just need to learn to control the direction of the swing so I'm not going all over the place. Also, jumping to the 90" rings is getting a lot easier, I don't even really think about it anymore. 

I was trying to keep the row around 1200-1300 cals, when we practiced on Sunday we were rowing pretty hard. The deadlift hold isn't that bad, it just hurts my hands more than anything else, the weight isn't really the issue. Strict handstand push ups felt good today, I stopped doing 5 as soon as my cycle time slowed down since that's what I would do during regionals. 

The hang from the bar sucked only because my hands were feeling raw at this point, toes to bar were easy though. The axle lunge is definitely getting better.
