Skill/Strength
Bulgarian Split Squats (front squat position)
After warm-up sets of x3 each leg (unweighted), x5 each leg (empty barbell), and 2x5 each leg, perform 4 sets of 6 each leg, using the same weight for all sets.
If you increase weight during any of the work sets, that new weight becomes your first set and you must complete 3 additional sets at that weight. Same rules apply, hip crease must pass below the top of the knee for the rep to count. (Four minute clock)
Conditioning
Three rounds for quality and development:
Pull ups (strict, kipping, chest 2 bar), 90 seconds
Rest 15 seconds
Pistols (weighted, unweighted, negatives), 90 seconds
Rest 15 seconds
Ring Push ups (feet elev., on knees, rings elev.), 90 seconds
Rest 15 seconds
Row (diff. damper settings, diff. tech.), 90 seconds
Rest 15 seconds
Shooter's choice with version you choose of the above movements (during any round). Keep quality high and range of motion complete. Learn something today.

Nice work on skills. And after Amanda made a special note, I tried to keep elbows in on ring push ups. I'm going to have to work harder on keeping them close during regular push-ups, as I tend to go wider when I get tired to transfer more load to my chest.
I am in love with the fish game on the rower. So fun! Worked push-ups from my knees today, ring push-ups and my shoulder just don't get along just yet. Hopefully they will make up in the next month to six weeks. Pull-ups with the green band (again the shoulder is just not ready for whole body hanging exercises), and pistol squats weighted and rolling down and up on to one leg. I do love the pistol!

10:45ish
worked on strict pullups. did ring pushups and on last round did them with feet elevated on 2 red plates. rowing messed around with damper settings of 8, 10 & 7.
Got some good work done during the skill/conditioning portion of today, including PISTOL SQUATS ON A KETTLEBELL! Boom! That's some next level ninja sh!t there! (sorry, that was a bit over the top but I was pretty stoked, sue me).
Nice work 5:30 crew.
Right leg is stronger than left leg.
Ring pushups were tough; got one set of 8 in first round and after that, I never got more than 4 in a row; definitely hard by round 3. Rowing technique still needs work, pullups were tough, and pistols showed again that my right leg is stronger than left. I can do them with both legs, but they're so much easier with my right leg.
Good work 5:30!
Great work 6am!
I really liked today's skill work. I enjoyed it much more than the last skill work day, but that may be because I could actually do the movements. Ring push ups were fun and I want to work on them more. After 3ish years of fittin, I learned how to row - and that I need the damper at 9. Pistols are always fun...especially because it's the ONLY thing in CF that I can do and my lame-o husband can't. :)
