Pull-ups feel strong even though I'm only doing 3 at a time, I'm greasing the neurological groove (gtg). Was able to perform a symmetrical muscle up at the school later too though with still a bit of a struggle, I want a surplus reservoir of strength. Working toward building up my pull up reps back to at least 10, When I checked on Sunday, could only do 5 max. My record in the past is 14 so I would like to blast past that, the lock off is so that I am stronger at the top range where I seem to be the weakest, got a little elbow trouble out of that so I backed off.

HSPU I can still do a handstand pushup! just one comfortably though. The negatives really helped me to remember what it was like, my goal in the past was about 7 freestanding HSPUs but I feel I can get back there and past that.

I was so tired from the strength stuff and running in the heat. If I train PK on the same day, I'll need to do the strength training as early as possible so I can get a rest in between. Bv training consisted of some tree climbs, one high up tree precision, stair jumps, buildering, brachiating, kong pre, kong pre plyo plyo, a bit of flowy work, and finally a few backflips on the way home. Some struggles: The white wall precision eludes me on a psychological level, it is at the end of my range. Like for a lot of things, I used to be able to do it no problem but I've lost a lot of leg power, More specific jump training and I'll probably need to start throwing in deadlifts again. Same with back flips, I can barely muster the power for it, still can, but not like it was. it's mostly from disuse, I tried to back off training and just focus on diet for a few months but totally failed and am clearly paying for it with my strength losses. Same for the jump up the stairs in the quad, trying to get that jump again.I slogged through everything else only really practicing something a few times before moving on but at least I got out there. Today should be a better day for PK since I won't be doing all the strength work.

Forgot compression and handstand work, need to remember to just tack on compression at the end of my stretching routine.

Pistols on just the right leg, I can only do one rep and it feels like my leg is going to explode so I have been mostly focusing on the eccentric. Left leg I can do 5 pistols no problem, butt cheek still hurts from fall so it's an opportunity to just focus on the right.
