The hollow progression was surprisingly painful today, just holding each position… but the kipping went well, I think. On the metcon the kip got messy pretty quickly as I got tired but was able to get in a few good reps up to the last round. And a big plus, hands didn’t rip on the first time swinging from the bars in over a month!
