Talk About a Beat-down!

Holy moly, HQ

Today’s WOD was definitly one of the hardest I have experienced to date. Read it and weep:

1/16/2009 WOD

Complete For time:

10 GHD Sit-ups
10 Hip & Back Extensions
95 pound Thrusters, 30 reps
50 Pull-ups

30 GHD Sit-ups
30 Hip & Back Extensions
95 pound Thrusters, 20 reps
35 Pull-ups

50 GHD Sit-ups
50 Hip & Back Extensions
95 pound Thrusters, 10 reps
20 Pull-ups

Training Notes:

I had to break this one up. I had no choice. I tried to hang tough, but this was brutal. After 30 thrusters, and then moving to pll-ups, I was wimpering after 20 pull-ups.

I’ll have to admit scaled on this one, and bank it away for later fitness improvement testing down-the-road. I lost count on just about everything, and fatigued rather quickly. I hung in, but it wasn’t pretty.

p.s. I am getting damn close to the pull-up bar muscle-up. I need some skills training on this movement.

Weight: still hovering at ~195

Diet: Was a little overconsumptive yesterday due to a social dinner – Big-ass bone-in ribeye, lobster bisque, delicious fresh bread (big no-no), and some yummy tomatoes/onions with vinagrette. Lunch and breakfast stayed sane with steak salad, and fruits and berries respectively.

99 days ’til the Games qualifier.

    I’m sitting at work eating oatmeal with flaxseed and sunflower seeds and I have to read about you eating that meal? Give me a break!
