Worked on hand stand walks – right wrist acting up a little bit.
B. 125/145/165/190/205/215/215/215… stuck with the percentages based off 255 from 6 months ago. Felt fatigued early and slightly beat down. Form started to crumble toward the final sets and just couldn’t find that position.
C. 13:00… dang strict HSPUs!
D. 5:30… mental toughness just not there for this portion, sometimes tough to go to that dark corner – when working out on my own.
Didn’t have it in the tank for the optional session. Disappointed with my output for these workouts.
