  2. Not sure what I'll sub for rows, maybe runs. Last time I did this many SDHP's, last week, I was crippled. And I certainly won't be doing my body weight for bench press. No torn rotator cuff for me thank you very little.

    Either way I'll do this one way or another

  3. I subbed ring dips with a 20# vest. I am not sure if that is a fair sub or not as I have not benched in a couple of years, that I can remember at least. Rows went 1:43/3:59/8:08. I finished strong on the 2k but I struggled between 600 and 1600 meters. This is a realy good wod. 27:07 as described.

  4. Justin very fair sub. that's nasty.

    I scaled the BP down to 155#. I weigh 220 and hell no. My shoulder would fall apart. As it was, 1/2 way through round 2 I was feeling a bit of sharp pain in the shoulder.

    I can row, gents. :-) ... but I will say my 500 was 1:55, a far cry from JTS' 1:43. I did not want to gas myself too much early. When I do a balls to the wall 500M (PR is 1:29.7) I am a wreck for many minutes. The effect of "out for blood" rowing is not worth saving 20 seconds on the WOD.

  5. I scaled to 165 for bench press and did 400,800 and 1600 meters runs for the rows. Good WOD.

  6. My bench was at 185 and my arms felt like they were jelly around rep 20. Oh, I hate rowing.. nuff said. 2000 meters felt like 10 miles.
