115 - 120 - 125 - 130 - 135
I have no idea what my 1rm is, so I started with a pretty tough set of 10 then build from there. On the last set I failed the 5th rep, had to rest about a minute, then completed the last rep

C. sHSPU; 6-8 UB reps x 3 sets, reset as needed

A1. Single Arm Bear to Bridge; 5 reps/arm x 2 sets; rest 10 sec
A2. Shoulder Sleeper Stretch; 30 Sec/arm x 2 sets; rest 30 sec
B1. KB thoracic reach overs; 10 reps x 2 sets; rest 10 sec
B2. HandStand Trap 3 Press; 8-10 reps x 2 sets; rest 10 sec
+
A. Wtd Strict Supinated Pull-up;2.2.2 x 5 sets; rest 20 sec bw clusters; rest 2min bw sets
I used a 53lb KB for these, had to take some liberties with the rest periods because I wanted to make sure there were no doubts about whether or not my chin got over the bar

B1. AMRAP Strict HSPUs in 1min x 3 sets; rest 30 seconds
Set 1) 9 reps - 2/3/2/2
Set 2) 9 reps - 3/3/3
Set 3) 11 reps - 9/2

I give up on sHSPU. I had an incredibly hard time maintaining sets of 2 or 3 on the first two sets then cranked out a set of 9 on the last set. I did have to wait a while to barely get those last two reps, but I don't get it. I haven't seen much if any improvement on sHSPU despite you throwing just about everything at me to try and improve them. 

B2. Skierg for 3min @ easy pace as recovery
I took this 'easy pace' as seriously as possible and went very slow

3 Sets;
1min AMRAP Banded Strict Pull-ups
rest 30 seconds
1min AMRAP Ring Row
rest 30 seconds
1min AMRAP Renegade Row
rest 30 seconds

Set 1) 16 - 20 - 20 - 18
Set 2) 16 - 16 - 18 - 18
