because some of you asked…

was good!  it was 20 minutes of gymnastics skill work so I worked on getting my butterfly kipping pullups which are not the easiest to learn.  It just feels so backwards from my regular kip and honestly I dont really see the need for them for myself. I never will be competing at a level that the xtra speed would benefit me so I worked for a bit and tried a ring handstand push up which was a fail.  i think i can get it but its a tough move.

and I think anytime you have 1 coach with 10 people all working different skills nobody really even benefits.  I dont want to take time from the person getting their first pull up to learn something I probably wont ever use…My opinion is it should be limited to 1 or 2 skill choices instead of all of them.  that way at least you get a few people working on the same thing.

it felt good to do pullups because its such a good core stretch.  I was a little worried about that because I can still feel some of the surgery scars in some places when i hang but they didnt hurt.

WOD was 4x 400m run + 50 air squats

a good WOD for my first day back I thought.  run was fine but the squats were not.  in order to get below parallel and open up at the top (full range) I was doing way more work then I should have because I couldn’t keep my mid-line straight.  my core has been way to protected and not stretched in way too long.  2 surgeries on your core in 5 months will do that to you I guess…

going to yoga tomorrow and stretching it out.  I’ve decided my plan for coming back is for every 2 xfit classes I take I have to do 1 yoga class.  I am also planning on hitting xfit 3x a week for the next few weeks so my DOMS aren’t as bad.  before all of this went down I was pretty regularly 4x a week RX-ing WODs and while I’d be a little sore it wasn’t terrible.  I want to get back into that shape again, but need to remember that it happens slowly.  I’m giving it 6 weeks.  that’s slow enough for me :)
