3/7/15 Saturday March 7, 2015 (pull-ups, push-ups, playing with the kids)

Writing this Sunday afternoon.  Got this work done Saturday morning and did it with my kids again at the lake, before we went and had brunch together.  This is a great habit we have formed and I am going to keep this up with them.

Hanging from bar
Hip mobility

7 pull-ups
5 push-ups (3 regular, 2 lizard for all)

6 pull-ups
5 push-ups

6 pull-ups
5 push-ups

5 pull-ups
5 push-ups

4 pull-ups
5 push-ups

Pistol squat, 1/1

Lots of helping the kids and running around the trees in between all of the above, and we also did a bunch of bear-crawling, which felt great.  Probably took us 30 or 40 minutes.

We then drove the car and did the following:

2H 24kg SW, 10
Hill sprint, 15 seconds
rest

x 3

Total pull-ups - 28, up 1 from last week.  25 push-ups, same as last week.  I think the main thing that stuck out here is that these pull-ups were simply not hard.  I am at 28 and rising, and like this trend, I like it a lot.  These are very high-quality reps, with a focus on technique, and strength-building.  Same with the push-ups.  I also was delighted to be able to drop into an easy pistol squat on both legs with zero practice.  Love that.  Getting the swings and hill sprints back into the mix was great this week as well.  Feeling a bit sore now on Sunday but I have not been able to get any mobility work in since the training session, and need to focus on this tonight.  Not a bad sore at all, this is what I expected.  Great weekend.
