My arms were shot after this WOD. Can't lift them above my shoulders.

It was cool to work out with Jeff from Atlanta today. He told me about the “Run & Chug” WOD’s they do down there. I think it was run 400 meter, chug a beer, repeat.

Also glad to see MLIB back in the box.

"21" sort of (more like 22)

Warmup:
run 1 mile

WOD: "21"
Compare to 5/6/09.

21 rounds of pushups and situps where the total reps per round equal 22 reps. 1st round is 21 pushups and 1 situp. 2nd round is 20 pushups and 2 situps. Keep following this pattern until the last round of 1 pushup and 21 situps. For time.

Time 23:50

Last time we did this was 20 rounds of 21 total reps each (total of 420 reps) and my time was 25:40. This time was 21 rounds of 22 reps each (total of 462 reps). Pretty stoked that I beat my previous time AND did 42 more reps.

SO….

Today’s WOD:
3.10 seconds per rep (avg) compared to the previous WOD of 420 reps means that I would have beaten my previous time of 25:40 by 3:58 (total time of 21:42) if today’s WOD was exactly the same as the last time we did this. I know, I’m a nerd.

Warmup:
2x15 back squats (45#)
2x15 situps
2x15 ring dips
1x7 deadlift (135#)
1x7 push jerk (135#)

  1. 155#
  2. 175#
  3. 185#
  4. 205#

Need to keep working on my cleans. I can push jerk that 225# if I could get it to my shoulders. Kind of frustrated.
