5/50 challenge and some squats

Prep - Foam Roller and Primal Move

1 arm 1 leg push-up x 1+1
Pistol x 1+1

5/50 challenge
50 reps each in best time
Prisoner squats + Jumping Jacks + Push-ups + Mountain Climber + Crunches
my time 3:40.67

Jumpstretch Band squats
doubled Monster Mini bands + 185 x 3, 3, 3, 3

Stretch

Finding depth (notice these are quite a bit deeper than last weeks)
but need to hold Lower back position better (eliminate the tuck at the bottom) - third rep looked pretty good for that.

Back from the San Jose RKC

Still a little jet lagged but off we go

Prep - Foam Roller and Primal Move

1 arm 1 leg push-up x 1+1
Pistol x 1+1

DL x 315 x 3, 3, 3, 3
Bench x 225 x 3, 3, 3, 3
Parallel grip pull-up +32 kg x 2, 2, 2, 2

Stretch

the 32 kg for the pull-ups was a 16 kg on each foot

Back under the barbell...

Prep - Foam roller and Primal Move

1 arm 1 leg push-up x 1+1
Pistol x 1+1

Jumpstretch Band Barbell squats
Doubled over Monster Mini bands
135 x 3
225 x 3, 3, 3
135 x 3

24 kg Get-up + armbar + bridge at elbow and hand x 1+1

Stir the pot x 1 min

The doubled over monster mini bands were held down by 85 pound DBs and if I even touched them they "levitated" due to the pull of the band so I would say an easy 80# or so of pull at the top.
