Monday 18.11: Pull-ups + handstand

Monday. Pull-ups, ring pull-ups and handstand.

My body really wasn't in the best possible shape in the morning. I felt it in advance and decided yesterday to concentrate in some skills in the morning. It turned into a pull-up workout and handstand skills training. Toni did a new PR for bench press.


Workout. For quality.
10 rounds of
5 wide grip pull-ups
5 ring pull-ups
5 attempts of handstand


I performed my pull-ups with ease. I had no juice to for strength training today but this workout was perfect for me. 100 different type of pull-ups and skills training as well. Doing pull-ups with rings will definitely work for my benefit with muscle-ups in the future. I also wanted to do the regular bar pull-ups with a grip that is way wider than normally.

Toni's workouts. Bench press 3-3-3-3-2-3-2-3-1-F (65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 85, 90, 90, PR 92.5, 95kg)

He had a lot of reps today. 3 rep sets up to 80 as intended. He then took 85kg up twice. After a short rest, three reps popped up. Same happened with 90kg. This encouraged him to go for new personal record and he got it, 92.5kg! Toni still pursued 95kg but it wasn't time for that, yet… Strength training was followed by hero called Annie, 150 double unders and sit-ups in sets of 50-40-30-20-10. Time 10.50

  • Annie
  • 50-40-30-20-10
  • Double unders
  • Sit-ups



Toni's Annie, time 10.50
Camera's memory card got full during the wod


Now I'm going to play some floorball!

  1. Finally nailed that 92.5 kg! I'm a bit surprised that my body was so ready to do some heavy lifting after saturdays workouts.

    Annie was a fun wod. My du's were flying better than ever!

  3. Haha, the chick is in pretty good form! =) Those arabic flick flacks in the end were spectacular, I'd like to see myself trying those... And the weights she was pulling and pushing, considering she weighted 50kg, huh
