Sunday 18.5: Run, hspu's, pistols, du's

Sunday. Metcon, 5rds of: 200m run, 5 strict hspu, 10 pistols, 20 du. Workout, 5rds of: 5 strict hspu, 30 squats.

More bodyweight stuff was thrown at me on Sunday. I realized pistols, running and du's would make a perfect workout. After checking the place out I noticed a beautiful solid wall calling me to do hspu's. It turned out to be a 2-workout session.

Metcon.
5 rounds of:
200m run
5 strict handstand push-ups
10 pistol squats
20 double unders

The pool area here in our L.A. apartment seems to be the perfect outdoor gym. I have practically no gear at all, the only thing I have is a jump rope. Th only thing I'm missing is barbell and pull-up bar. Those and rings and I wouldn'g ask for more.

Today my metcon consisted of running added with some bodyweight stuff. I completed 5 hspu's, strict because mostly I've done them with the help of kipping movement. Felt good on the hspu's. Unbroken each round. Pistols were tougher. I've normally worn mh weightlifging shoes, they are good for stabilizing the form. Naturally I don't have them with me so it was a bit more shaky than traditionally. Double unders were mostly unbroken. I got my metabolic condition work done with this metcon. Definitely a fast heart rate on this one.

After resting for 3-5min I took another workout. Wasn't tired of handstand push-ups and I have missed them so it was obvious that they would be part the next metcon too.

Metcon.
5 rounds of:
5 strict handstand push-ups
30 air squats

I didn't time either of the workouts. Actually I haven't timed most of them even though I've done them with a regular speed. This latter workout was tougher on my legs tjan shoulders. My upper body has taken these workouts this week pretty well. I feel fresh. Legs on the other hand were burning a lot in this one. Had to cut the squats to pieces from secnd round on. Just a short break and thdn continued to pump it up and down. Good one!
