today is my rest day, but … i came into the gym and worked on some skill development
- double unders: did them for 20min. i strung 3-4 here and there, but i am convinced that this is a perishable skill. you don’t use it, you lose it!
- kipping swing: not so much for the pullup, but more for prepping myself into that very first muscle-up. i keep the whole hollow core leverage swing motion in my head as i channel my inner jeff tucker and pull my body higher and higher into that parallel position
- deadhang/isometric hold pullups: these i can do … but not exceptionally well or strung together in a workout
- muscle-up: got just to the point of transition and then . . . . . .!
these are items on my “oh my god, i really stink at these things” list. box jumps and the rower are definitely in there too with squat exercises, but i can only chip away at so much on my rest day before it becomes a workout day...
. . . now, are these things tantamount to my being able to serve as an expedition asset? not exactly, but i certainly think my strength and endurance built from all this will prevent me from becoming a liability. i’m just sayin’.
