Complete 3 sets of each:

1 Embedded BL + 5 Tempo Wide Grip L Pull-up

1 Embedded PL + 5 Tempo HeSPU

1 Embedded FL + 6 Tempo One Arm HLL (3 on each arm)

Finish the workout with 10 Bridge Wall Walks

notes:

1) Warm-up by performing 2-3 easier Chin/HSPU variations prior to beginning your working sets. The variations used should initially begin with one that is quite easy and then get progressively more difficult from warm-up set to warm-up set.

2) NOTE: When scaling always adjust the difficulty of the FBE so that you will be able to maintain the correct tempo, sets and reps as designated in that day’s GB WOD.

3) Choose a body position for the embedded static strength variation that allows you to hold the position for 15 seconds per rep.

4) Rest 10-20 seconds between the embedded static and the subsequent exercise. Rest 1-2 minutes in between giant sets.

5) Use a tempo of 323 for the basic strength sets. For the Wide Grip L Pull-ups, this equates to a 3 second ascent, followed by a 2 second pause at the top, then a 3 second descent.

6) If HeSPU are too difficult, scale down to a more appropriate HeSPU or dip variation.

7) DO NOT skip the Bridge Wall Walks at the end of the Workout.

Pre-FSP's: Plank; Reverse plank; Hollow hold; Arch hold; Parallel Bar support; Chin up grip dead hang

30s between holds; 2:00 between rounds

Time= 13:20

Rest 4 mins

3 sets of each pair:

1 German hang +5 Wide grip PU's

1 Frog Stand + 5 Box HeSPU's

1 Tuck FL + 5 Tuck Full HLL

Static= 15s

Tempo= 3,2,3

2 mins between sets

2x7 Full bridge reps

- Scaling generally pretty good

- Performed wide grip behind the neck pulls first set. Realised wouldn't make RX'd reps/tempo for subsequent sets, so scaled those back to regular wide grip pulls. Almost limit on final set.

- Performed half HeSPU's first press set, though again realised would struggle in subsequent sets. Set tempo hard with reduced ROM. Scaled back to box HeSPU's which were fine

- FL still somewhere between tuck and flat tuck. Need to take some video next time

- Went back to basics for planche work (frog stand) to ease wrists/forearms back in. I know the pre-req is full L-sit for at least 60s (I think) before starting PL work, but the frog stand has never caused problems. Comfortable.

@ ewethestuff: We all have bad sessions every now and again. You've got four days before the next upper body WOD to recover, so I'm sure it'll be fine :D
