Tuesday 11.1.11

Warmup:
-250 row
-15 sec. Samson stretch (each leg)
-15 Bent Leg Reverse Hypers
-15 Ring Rows
-15 Second Handstand Hold

SWOD:
Weighted Chin-Ups:
25x5, 50x4, 70x3, 85x2, 100x1, 110x1, 115x1 (PR)

I started off gauging my rep scheme based on my previous PR for weighted pullups.  I didnt stop to take into account that chinups are a much easier movement to accomplish.  Hence the 3 different attempts at a max effort movement....still a PR though! Although me and Geoff were racing each other all night for the highest total weight, and apparently he beat me by a single pound.  Bastard!

Metcon:
4 Rounds for Time of:
-10 1-arm Kb Snatches @ 53# (each arm)
-10 Clapping Pushups
-10 CTB Pullups
11:47

Talk about an upper body fade.  I have never been able to do 1 armed snatches @ 53# before, so I was please to make it through so many reps in this WOD.  It's amazing how training heavy in general can lead to so many improvements across so many areas.  I still couldn't keep up with Geoff in this workout either.  He humbled me just like the SWOD.  So over getting beat by old men tonight.  Thursday is gonna be a young man's night at The Compound!
