Good numbers Brumm. That one is brutal.

Bruce said...

9 full rounds + 10 pullups.

Always hard to go full bore when nobody is watching. This was no exception.

Clint, put me in my place for motivation.

brumm said...

7 full rounds + 10 pullups

i suck at pullups.

Clint said...

I don't know who that 6% body fat guy is in the photo but he looks motivated to me.

Maybe you should ask him about motivation, or better yet, ask the part of him that helped him get to where he is now.

We all have to remember that the hardest battles to win are the internal ones, everything that originates from within our own mind.

Dealing with external forces is the easy part, dealing with yourself is where things get tricky.

Fight the battle, there is no other choice.

when the clock hit 20:00 i was 7 thrusters short of finishing my eighth round.

Bruce said...

Brumm and Goob, neck and neck.

goob said...

goob did his thrusters at 95lb.

Bruce said...

yikes...

Clint said...

Crap. Now John's raising the bar, no pun intended. I'll get it done this weekend and post my results. I'm nervous. Not a thruster fan (they're one helluva good lift I just don't do them that often) and I can't kip. Crap again.

Clint said...

8 full rounds + 10 pullups. Thrusters @ 95lbs.

The thrusters were easy but 90 traditional pullps TORE ME UP.

All I want for Christmas is to be able to kip, able to kip, able to kip.

All I want for Christmas is to be able to kip, able to kip, able to kip.

Clint said...

Bruce - Was it hard for you to learn the kip when you started? Any secrets other than what's online?

Bruce said...

When you have a bar at height, it just comes naturally. Coy picked it up in about 2 WODs.

Did this workout this morning. Started with the Thrusters. Total of 12 rounds 10 thrusters and 1 PU. First 4 rounds were done strict. Last 8 were done kipping. Probably would not have gotten past 6 rounds had they all been strict. Got 7 done in the first 10 minutes. 3 done in the next 5, then 2 in the last 5. Good workout, I got the blood blisters on my hands to prove it.

Man I always forget something. Thrusters were done with 95lb bar.
