Northeast Regional Qualifier Event 1

Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of

135 pound Overhead squat
Chest to bar pull-ups

as Rx'd: 4:45


All OHS were unbroken. First round of C2B pull-ups were unbroken. Second (5-3-3-2-2) and third (2-2-2-2-1) round of C2B Pull-ups were a different story…



I almost started from the rack but after watching the video on the MP and asking on the boards I found that the Rx’d event at the Qualifier started from the ground so I snatched the weight (except for the last round…it was a wide clean and jerk).


My grip was gone after rep 5 of the 15 C2B pull-ups. I should have gamed this better. I almost stopped at 11-12 on the round of 21, but I felt good and gutted out all 21. I thought I would be okay for the next two rounds…boy was I wrong. In hindsight I should have gamed it better and dropped to shake my arms out after the first 11-12 C2B pull-ups. That might have been enough to fight off grip failure.


I can tell I have not practiced OHS in a while. I was a little shakier than I expected to be. Still a great WOD. Hats off to those who do this in 4min or below!
