F, 40-44, CW
A. Wasn’t sure what to use for a progression so I used the 50lb resistance band mounted to the wall with a d-hook that basically amounts to a giant, upside down jolly jumper – 3, 1, 2, 2, 0, 2, 2, 0. I’m open to other mod suggestions that also allow me to maintain my dignity (ha!).
B. 3 reps at 85-95-105-115-120lbs
C. 170, 195, 220, 235, 220lbsx5, 6 dips each set

Jolly jumpers are fun! LOL! I found this yesterday because I have kipping and not strict HSPU: https://invictusfitness.com/blog/the-handstand-push-up/

I worked on the negatives yesterday. Hope this helps!

I just signed up this evening. Do you recommend I begin with the Jan 5 WOD and follow behind a bit or just dive in now?

The normal response is dive right in! I was the same during the last cycle and asked the same question. Welcome 🙂
