Weighted pull-ups 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

Hey guys, I didn't want to do this cos' of the strained back, went on a killer ass kicking mountain bike ride last night, climbed 1,530 feet and rode a total of 7.2 miles of single track. TT 105 minutes. Today I did this to test the back:

8 rounds of

5 ring dips
10 pullups
15 honest pushups (have to write that and think that after watching my lame burpees)
20 Abmat situps w/feet anchored

TT = 21:30. Combining ring dips with pushups isn't very kind.

Back feels OK, but barbell lifting puts a whole new kind of strain on ya. I have to fly to Belgium Tuesday so I am being careful. Don't want to sit on a plane all day with a jacked back.

  1. WODoers: Was camping at 8100'. Added the 20# vest and did the 400m lunge walk over rough terrain for time. This was not fun. 20:58. Still waiting for my ass muscles to spasm and cramp up 9 hours later.

  4. 70-75-80-85-95-105-105 (questionable on the last one)

    Did this on the assigned day. Ran a 5k today outside @ 05:00. This was the first time I had run outside here yet. There were about 50-60 other runners there. Did not place in the top 3 in my age group (30-39 yrs) and I am in the upper age bracket there. There were some dudes that smoked this thing this AM, like 17 - 18 minutes. Me??

    23:05 Still pretty happy with that since I hadn't run outside until this AM. Another 5k next Monday, I guess its like Labor Day or something. Everyday here is the same, it is Ground Hogs Day here, because you work every day irregardless. It'ss GRRREAT!!!
