Elements Class #2

CFWU x3
(no pull-ups)

workout:
1/2 Cindy (I just did this!)

Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats

SS: 6 + 6 squats

Well, 5 squats worse than last time, but I feel like my squats were also much improved, so it's hard to gauge. During this class we worked on using the GHD machine and how to tell the difference between using your back and using your hip flexors. Also did a fair amount of ring work, focusing on dips and skinning the cat (which is alot of fun!). Also did L-sits on the parallettes and graduated to L-pullups. I still can't keep my legs straight on those. Finally, we ended up with burpees (fun!) and handstand push-ups. and box jumps, I forgot those. I think I haven't been standing fully erect at the end of the box jump, so I haven't been doing them properly. As far as the handstand itself goes, I flipped both feet on the wall at one point, but I bounced right off. I'll get it someday, I just need to work at it. Anyway, that about wraps up this class.

Those L-sits must suck when your legs weigh as much as me!

Interested to hear what you think of skin-the-cats in terms of their usefulness.

Just the thought of skin-the-cats makes my shoulders ache...

Scott, do you feel your technique in the core competencies getting better? Seems like it would be really helpful to have a pair of eyes for all the movements.
