Gym strength
This is the hybrid part of our hybrid calisthenics week. I got the idea from here to have a test day the last Saturday of each 4 week block. Everything was added weight or added rep. PB on bench, deadlift, squat, pull-up reps.

@Val Mercier It helps us avoid going to fail/PB every week, and just doing a weight we can get quality reps in to get stronger, knowing there's a day in the program to do that. Next week we will dial back in on technique and reps and maybe set new goals. We only do our warm up set, then one PB set of each lift, instead of two working sets of each exercise on normal days.
4 pull ups 🎉
I got my 4 pull ups, the fourth is a bit wonky but i still did it🤗 I've been consistent at 3 lately and i don't think it's just strength that I'm missing, after 3 I tend to "lock up" I'll keep doing EMOM, that helped me to get my numbers up Should I change anything in my form ❓ For now it's ok❓

I agree the EMOM seems to work. I don't do it every time, but a couple sessions a week
Handstand on paralettes
Has anyone tried handstand on paralettes? If so would you recommend the wooden ones that are closer to the ground to start with? I’m thinking I might need to start practising using them in the meantime whilst I work on finger rehab as it might be a while before it’s ready for flat palms on the ground, particularly with the finger control require for handstand.

@Val Mercier its scarier right? But my first longer hold was on handles. I need to give them a go again

@Zara Doering the little wooden ones. I probably need to add some non slip grip on the bottom or just use them on a non slip floor.. I had a wall behind me to start else I couldn't make my brain commit to kicking up high enough. I've used them with the mattress behind too, but not for a while
Toe to bar and hangs
Gym day, but we always squeeze in a couple of calisthenics moves.

Back and shoulder mobility and strength.
I was able to balance in forearm headstand. I still find the feel of the arm position really strange. I tried to lift vertically and not have so much weight pushing down on my head. I found my back muscles really having to work bringing my knees back to a tuck position. I have been practicing bridge with the support of the stability ball whilst pushing through my shoulders. I managed to push up into the bridge. Not pretty but I got up and worked on my shoulders without the aid of the stability ball.

Wheel pose and any back bend is my nemesis. Good work

Reminded me my wheel isn't going to get better without practice.
