     Takeaway: Love this, used to do this on a bench in HS when I threw Discus and I could pop over 100' so that's saying something. Because I'm short. Get it? lulz

Nothing original, but noteworthy nonetheless...

Working on outlining my training  program for a March 1st, 2014 meet. Any thoughts/critiques/etc. would be appreciated.

Upper Body - Recovery

One of my Coworkers suggested I do some gymnastics work for stabilization, core, etc... So I jumped into their workout today, was surprised with how much I could still do being ~4years removed from any gymnastic movements.

• Ring Pushups w/ toes on a box - 5sets(s) x 6reps(r)
• Handstand Pushups - 4s x 4r
• Tricep Ring Dips w/ hands supinated throughout - 4s x 5r
• Parallel Bar L sit to Planche(bent knees) to L sit - 4s x 1 w/ 5sec holds in each position
• Side bends on GHR machine - 2s x 5r each side
• Dragon Flags - 2s x 10r  *slow reps

Overall it was mainly a way to get blood flowing throughout my upper body while not taxing my muscles too much.  Tomorrow will be a top end overload day: squat or deadlift, depends how everything feels in the morning.
