Blake
WU x 2
Muscle Up practice – 4 unbroken. Concentrated at re-establishing false grip on the downward dip. Tied a PR but it felt much smoother.
Singles practice – 100 singles: 1:07
DU practice – Thanks for the tips Kevin, I know what I need to correct at least.
Pistol practice – nailed 4 before knees started wobbling.
Prety heavily scaled, but I am pretty happy with my first time doing pistols in a WOD ever (had some fear/knee issues before). Taking a step back to singles to really work out where I am failing at DUs…always something to work on.
Singles practice can get you to muscle-memorize jump timing, proper wrist position/rotation, standing/jumping straight etc. You can also practice getting that little bit of extra height to help the double pass, albeit slowing down your singles.
Plus if you’re not stressing during singles, most likely to keep arms/shoulders relaxed.
Good work Blake! Keep at it.
Blake
Thanks man. I have a different plan this time. Taking a step back and working harder on solid skipping technique in general… which I hope will earn me a ticket in to DU-Land.
