**Long day, y’all! Nothing fancy, nothing crazy, just a good old fashioned triplet.
This would be one of those workouts where I’d say ‘show up, do the work’. Get in and get it done.
And then I would also point out that this is a high volume workout – 450 total reps. My eyes go right to the sit ups and push ups. This many sit ups can lead to crushing abdominal pain. And this many push ups can lead to really shitty form. Looking back at last Thursday’s chipper that included high volume sit ups and the hand release push ups. Arm position got really janky with hands going waaaay wide in a HSPU type set up to shorten the ROM. Nah dawg. Legit push ups. If that means scale to knee push ups, do that. If that means scale to push ups against a low barbell, do that. If that means push ups against a box or the wall, by all means, DO THAT!!
I’m going to circle you back to the Greg Glassman article about Virtuosity – doing the common uncommonly well. Your body moves as a unit. When you press up from the ground, your entire body from shoulders to feet (or knees if you’re shortening the angle) should move, too. There shouldn’t be any sag in your stomach, hips, or thighs. This isn’t a tricep push up where only your upper body moves.
