80-foot dumbbell overhead walking lunge (50/35#) 

20 alternating dumbbell snatches

20 pull-ups

80-foot dumbbell overhead walking lunge

20 alternating dumbbell snatches

20 C2B pull-ups

80-foot dumbbell overhead walking lunge

20 alternating dumbbell snatches

20 ring muscle-ups 

-10:42 … I was nervous going into this given my recent bicep injury a bit over 2 weeks ago... once the clock got going I didn't really stress about it ... otherwise this was just tough … unbroken pull-ups, 12/8 on C2B and then finished the last set of DB snatches at 7:23 … then went 5-5-4-3-3 on the rings … overall I was happy with this score, despite initially hoping to be a bit faster than this … I don’t think I could have really improved much anywhere … I did gas a bit on the last set of lunges, but this was a lot of lunging for me, definitely something I am looking forward to training in the future. Overall happy with this and happy to get in a decent effort while traveling. Might have gone slightly faster back home given the heat/humidity in Orlando, but overall I am happy with my effort/performance here.

Active Recovery Day. 5 Mile Easy Aerobic Run. 

-48:30 for about a 9:30 mile pace ... down in Orlando visiting family ... ran around 0630 and it was really nice out ... about 70 degrees and humid... it was REALLY nice to run in some good weather after the very harsh DC winter this year.

 Complete Rest 

03/04/26

Bit of a longer session today... pushed together some CF conditioning that I put together on the spot and then added in my lifting... Got a really solid pump from this and enjoyed getting this in ... entire thing took about 95 minutes ... fun stuff, but definitely a bit longer working out than I usually would in one session. Also, lots of pulling today and zero bicep pain/tightness...which I am stoked about ... still hoping for no kipping gymnastics stuff this week so I can feel it out a bit more before going max effort in an Open workout.
