Am running behind as usual. Got this week's workout and still didn't do GS's workout. Was totally 100% NOT in the mood for something hard today, but knowing you all were forging ahead, I couldn't bear the thought of falling behind. Damn competitive nature. But realized that's the whole purpose of the community - accountability. So here I post my time for GS's workout. With a few disclaimers, of course (I swear they are not excuses!!!) ;-) . . .
OK, the gymnast pull ups????? What the &*%%$###@*???? As a former competitive gymnast for 10 years or so, these are something I would rather forget!!! Was able to do the first 10 w/ legs straight, then went downhill fast. By the last 10 of the second set, I was dying. Had to pull knees in to body. For the rest in between, I mostly had slight bent leg position. Disclaimer #2: for whatever reason, I READ balanced lunge onto plyo box, but THOUGHT and actually DID suspended lunge onto plyo box. Yes, you read right. One leg in TRX, one leg hopping onto my plyo box and then having to hop off. Blah. That was insane. But in a good kind of way. I didn't realize my mistake until I was on #15 and was thinking, this can't be right. But finished the whole thing w/ the suspended lunge hops.
Time: 27:19. Didn't feel my greatest, nor did I have great intrinsic motivation today, but all in all you 150% kicked my butt, GS!!! Thanks for the workout.
