Tabata Something Else
Complete 32 intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by ten seconds of rest where...
the first 8 intervals are pull-ups,
the second 8 are push-ups,
the third 8 intervals are sit-ups, and finally,
the last 8 intervals are squats.
There is no rest between exercises.
Rep Totals: (Compared to 5-10-09)
Pull-ups: 15+13+12+8+8+7+7+6 = 76 (73)+ 3
Push-ups: 27+24+15+14+11+10+9+8 = 118 (119) -1
Sit-ups: 14+12+12+12+11+11+12+12 = 96 (98) -2
Squats: 25+20+22+18+17+16+15+16 = 149 (151) -2
Total Reps: 439 reps (-2 from last time; 441 reps on 5-1-09)
After hauling hay for 7 hours straight yesterday, I really thought pull-ups would be my worst, but they ended up being the only thing I PR'd on. Everything else I went down on by a rep or two. Not sure how Daniel came out, but I am sure he is wondering whether or not hauling all that hay impacted the outcome this afternoon.
Still a great WOD though. Thanks to the Love Doctor for getting my lazy bum into the weight room.

L-Pull-ups and Legless Rope Assents
Ended up doing 3 leisurely rounds of 21 Tuck pullups and 15 towel pullups.
On a positive I was able to do all pullups with a tuck. Couldn't do that last time this came up. Did it in chunks of 5-11 or so.
Also strung together 10 double unders in a row. Previous best was 7. Love I'm coming for you...lol.

Total Score: 332
Up from 323 on 3-29-09.
A PR is a PR, but I'm not extremely pleased with this. Thought I would do better. Came in at 5:30-45pm to do this after working in my room. It was hot, I was alone, and hiking 2.5-3.0 hours with three kids in tow at Ha Ha Tonka the day before might have played into the results. I am curious to see how I do next time. Didn't feel like I was very into it. I had to beat down the urge to quit after the first round.

JT
21-15-9 reps of:
Handstand push-ups
Ring dips (No rings…subbed Bar Dips 3:1)
Push-ups
Last time I did the first round as Rx’d with the 3:1 sub for ring dips and then went to do the set of 15 HSPUs and barely got 2 so I switched to piked off of a box.
Previous time was 10:46 with the box progression HSPUs for sets 15-9.
Today’s Time as Rx’d: 13:20
I did the first set of 21 HSPUs unbroken, but all HSPU sets thereafter were done in sets of 2-3 with a whole lotta arm swinging in between.

Back Squat Warm-up
135 x 5
225 x 3
275 x 2
Sets
315, 335, 365 (tied PR), 385 (new PR*), 395 (failed), 315, 325
Cash Out:
225 x 10
*All Sets were done raw with no belt and A2G. My best in the last 6 months is around 435, but that is with a belt on. Still have a lot of ground to make up.
Ben and I were reminiscing of the days of old when we used to put 315 on the bar and do sets of 15-20 because we didn't feel like going heavy...those days feel like a they were in a different lifetime...
