AMRAP in 8 minutes of the triplet:
4 HSPU
8 72lb Kettlebell Swings (KBS)
12 GHD Situps
Once again, it sounds oh, so easy. Of course, my handstand pushups still need some work, but I am getting them deeper everyday!
The home-made parallettes are still unbroken. I stand on each one before I use them just to make sure. Call me a skeptic, but I choose life.
Determination. I was really trying to get low - head breaking the horizontal plane created by my hands.
KBS during round 1
Final: 5 rounds + 4 HSPU I scaled the kettlebell swings to 53lbs, mostly due to my lack of possession of a 72lb (2 pood) kettlebell. The handstand pushups were by far the worst part for me. I probably could have gone heavier on the KBSs. I guess it is almost time to invest in a 2 pood KB!
Chalk marks of pain!
Ok, ok, ok... everyone who has been to Sullins' Gym is asking the same thing right now: GHD situps? How did he do that in his garage? hmmmmm, well I had to improvise or go back to the gym. See below:
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention - I also hit a Strength and Conditioning WOD before command PT: Weighted Pullups. Seven sets of 1 rep maxes.
LOADS: 25-35-40-45-50-55-60 (pounds)
It looked pretty funny with all those weight plates strapped to my body, but it was awesome! 60lbs is a PR for me! Four months ago my max weighted pullup was only 40lbs. THANK YOU, CROSSFIT!
Chapter 2!
Today is a two-fer. You will recall "The Chief" from a couple of days ago. Well, as much as it sucked for me, I had to get Derek to have our command PT group try it. Today, our chief did "The Chief," and loved it.
The Chief.
Cliff and Chief gettin' some.
Chris is a natural born CrossFitter. You should see his squats.
James and Chief fighting for every second.
There were great efforts all around. The Chief's results? Well, let's see if he posts his rounds in the comments :) I will say he did well, as did everyone.
