Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar.

Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.*Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy.

WOD 1: Clean & Jerk Ladder

225-235-245-255-265-275(m) , so performed 15 Deadlifts

WOD : 2-3-4 back to back to back
Well, live and learn. Never some high rep muscle ups on rings this high with chains that can move.
30 Mu for time.
Think only got 24 in the 6 minutes. Which sucks considering I believe I can do this in 3 min. After first 15 which I did 10/5... My rings shifted wide. At this point, I simply couldn't get through. Tried swinging chains closer, didn't work. For future. Use false grip and don't kip much on a set up like this. Lesson learned.

WOD 3: AMRAP 3. 1 DL (385) 1 FS HSPU
Score : 4 rds
** should have done better. Expenses so much energy on Mu. Could barely hold bar. Few no rep ok HSPU also.

WOD 4: 20 Burpees, 3 rope climbs , 20 Burpees
Score: 20 Burpees
Tore hand open on mu and DL. Couldn't even hold onto rope. Again, lesson learned. Shame on me.

WOD 5: 3 rds
4 power snatch (165)
12 pistols
20 t2b
Score : 2+ something.
^ knee popped out on pistols again on snatch. All down hill from there.

Today = not my day. Very disappointed in myself. Time to fix shoulder and knee. Get healthy and rethink training and goals.

Went to dinner after.
Hit gym following. 1k row and some stuf to loosen up.
