8-14 Rene 7 rounds for time of: Run 400 meters, 21 walking lunges, 15 pull-ups, 9 burpees, 20-lb. weight vest or body armor, wear it.

WOW, this one was probably one of the toughest ones yet. It didn't help that I was doing it in the middle of the afternoon in the garage that was 95+ degrees. I combined the burpees and pullups into one movement on rds 1-6, but looking back I think that actually slowed me down. Rd 7 I separated them and it seemed to work better. Rds 1-3 averaging about 5:30 per round, mid Rd 4 the wheels really started coming off and I slowed down tremendously. TT 49:07. I am willing to bet all of you beat me by 10 minutes, as I was just slow today, but I wanted to finish for Rene and his family!!

    Slow but steady here. Rx'd with a 20# vest in 43:22. This one is going to hurt for a while.

    Way to finish Brett.

    Good job guys. I'm up in the mountains and now I've come down with a stupid cold. Jeff, try to remember to post results in comments and not main post :-) Signed, the Blog Police.

    Holy shit that was terrible. Even without the vest. I went easy due to the July 31 shoulder injury. 7 rounds of
    400M run,
    21 lunges,
    15 pullups (I used a band last 4 rounds), and
    9 GHDs instead of burpees.
    TT 47:30, we'll see how the shoulder responds.

    Did this one again today. Everything was RX'd except the PU's which I subbed Ring Pulls for 5 of the 7 rds. My tendonitis in my forearm was too much today for more than 2 rds of PU's. Total time 38:31. Much improved over last time, but doing ring pulls and not being 105 degrees made it go much faster.

    Beat down city. Wore the vest, subbed 400M rows for runs, should have rowed 500M truthfully... shoulder not healing so did ring rows as well... thumbs to nipples. The other moves RX'd w/ vest... 36:44. suckfest grinder. Greg came over, did this with no vest sometimes, vest sometimes, banded pullups sometimes and ring rows sometimes... 42:00 even. He's 10 years older than me! Brett not sure if you got your time but it was 45:33... you can post your description if ya like!
