My arms are literally shaking right now. That was sosososososo hard. I freaking killed it though. I blew the competition out of the water. Austin Malleolo was getting 13/29, 11/28, 10/15 on his last three rounds. James Hobart: 9/33, 7/30, 6/26 on his last 3 and his max bench was 13. Granted he weighs 180, but we're all lifting our body weight.
I got pissed at myself on the last round for only getting 17 bench presses and pulled out 40 pullups. Those silly CrossFit guys sure know what they're doing though. Who knew that this combo would cause so much fatigue. I've never felt so much shoulder fatigue other than the first two times doing JT.
I need Advil. I aggravated my tendonitis in a major way. Oh well, it was worth it.
You are clearly a pullup machine! I do kipping pullups but I really want to learn how to link them in that faster way where it looks like your body is moving in a circle (from the side)... i'm assuming that's what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever done just max pullups? Zak Middleton the ridiculous guy at our gym only got like 60 something... I"m thinking you could beat that..
haha ONLY 60.. just read that and realized how RIDICULOUS crossfit is. Just saying.
