J.T.

21-15-9 of:

  • handstand push-ups
  • ring dips
  • push-ups

Sounds simple enough eh?

Ha.

5 HPUs in, I had to drop and continue in sets of 3-5

Dips I scaled to bar dips since I was training at the YMCA.

Push-ups? ok, I handled these with general ease but DID NOT do them to the new push-up standard.

Took me almost 20:00 - TOUGH!

Annie does JT back in the day

Have improved in bar muscle-ups, handstand push-ups, and overhead squats.

Have not been following the HQ WODs because of my recovery from the 50K, however, I plan to start back tomorrow on official HQ WODs

Weight: I’m a little heavy, bouncing around 195-205 depending on when I weigh, but for some reason still ‘appear’ leaner. Clothes still fitting looser. I can’t figure it out.

Diet: I’ve been good this week. Lots of red meat, salad, and very limited refined carbs. (a couple of Pop-Tart meltdowns, but hey – I’m human)

Signed up for Climb Atlanta 2009 – and will do the event in full firefighter gear, one week from the qualifiers.
