Workout 2

So CC (Convict Conditioning) calls for Pullups and Squats today.
When I say Pullups and Squats I mean "Shoulderstand Squats" and "Vertical Pulls".
The squats involve propping yourself up on your shoulders with your feet up in the air and then effectively pumping your legs up and down.
The pulls are accomplished by holding an object roughly chest height and pulling towards it.

Seems easy enough. Well, again, it's not as easy as one would think.
I had no problem with the pulls, and cracked the progression standard without breaking a sweat.
The squats are a bit ungainly when you're upside down, and all the blood is leaving your feet to hang out with your frontal cortex. So, as soon as I get used to the blood rush it'll be ok. The squatting action is not a problem, but it does work the erectors quite a bit.

So here are the figures:
Shoulderstand Squats: 40,30,20
Vertical Pulls: 40,40,40 > Progression standard!

I rock! We'll see if I still rock when we get to the more difficult stuff..
Til next time...
