Today i thought i'd kick off with a skills workout to target specific weakness's of mine; handstand push ups and muscle ups! It wasn't timed, just purely for completion and to work on technique. I had to attempt 20 of each movement and record how many i got out of 20. The results were: 13/20 HSPU's and 14/20 muscle ups, not bad considering i could not do either movement just a few weeks ago. The trick was that i learnt kipping muscle ups and have got them down pat, however i did fatigue and miss the last 4. I also need to work on linking them to do multiple reps. As for the HSPU's, i did really well doing 13 out of the 20 attempts, i credit this to learning how to kip around the 10th attempt. I went on the make the last 10 in a row... F*#&ing love kipping!

In the evening i went to Jacobs Ladder (a set of 242 concrete steps that overlook Perth's cbd and river) with my friend Jess. It's a great place to workout and admire the city, but can get over crowded. I managed the workout in a time of 18:24.
