20 minute PR

Didn't have to work today, so I was able to use the morning to knock out my 50 HSPU workout from hell. My shoulder felt throbby/achey today, but I decided to slap some kinesiotape on it, pop an aleve, and do what I could. I felt (relatively) strong on my HSPU today actually. I managed to bust out 11 before failing..then six...then who knows...but it took me a little while before I had to break down to doing clusters of 2, and I never failed after only 1. Hooray! There were some reps that I struggled on way more than others, but I refused to waste anymore energy that I had to, which resulted in me inching my way up the wall by shimmying my back and shoulders when I got stuck. Probably not the most efficient way, but as long as I finished with my heels on the wall and butt off the wall, I saved a rep. This time, the workout only took me 49:35. Was this the 25 minute, no fail time that is the goal? nope! double. Buuuuut it is twenty whole minutes less than last time. AND my head and neck feel great (for now). I hope to do this workout one more time before the competition. The programmed workout wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I have fairly good endurance so these types of WODs aren't too difficult for me.
