Annie as RX'D 17:13 50-40-30-20-10 Double Unders Sit-ups
*took 10 mins longer doing the DU but I'll take it!!
*I'm not sure what I did to my hand but I have like a raised area and anytime I pick up weight it hurts so decided FS was a bad idea anything with weights bothered it so tried jumping rope and that was fine. I think it's just overuse from all the pull ups and pushups.
After yesterday's two mile run and 300 squats, I felt a little weak (or unsure of myself) and cheated a little on the last set. I didn't go all the way down. I'm sure it was mental, not physical. I need to strengthen my mind, as well as my body.
Also, I need to work on the way I hold the bar. Right now, I feel lots of pain in my wrists. Anyone have any suggestions?
It's pretty much a wrist flexibility issue. Try pushing the bar up on the top of your shoulders and into your neck. Use just the tips of your fingers to hold it in place. Just keep at it and your flexibility will increase.
FS: 5 x 10 x 115lb Was feeling super sore and keeping my knees good.
Later, after work I did: 1x10 BP @ 135 2x7 BP @ 155 4x3 BP @ 185 3x5 BP @ 155
5 x 5 HPC @ 135 3 x 2 HPC @ 155 (was feeling super weak on these) Followed with a bunch of 20lb Pull Ups.
JR, everything Rick said, plus you need to work on getting your elbows out in front of you. I used to have the same problem, and Rick showed me how to fix it by letting the bar sit on my fingertips and sticking my elbows as high as I could. So you need to work shoulder flexibility as well. Remember, the bar should be resting on your fingertips, in the groove your shoulders make, and across the top of your collar bones. It takes work.

10 Reps was a little tough... but the lighter weight was better for knee.
