7 x135#85# Thruster (1st round @ 135 lbs)
7 x Knees to elbows
7 x245#195# pound Deadlift (1st round at 245#)
7 x Burpees
7 x 55 pound Dumbbell swings
7 x Pull-ups
Total Time: 40:00ish
This was one of the most grueling things I have ever attempted. I was done after the first round, and ready to quit after the 2nd. How I kept going for the next three is beyond me, especially in a weight-room that had to be 85 degrees with 100% humidity. I tried to keep moving to the next exercise everytime my heart rate dropped below 180 bpm, which is pretty damn high.
Upshots: First 3 sets of Pull-ups were unbroken, and all started with strict form, before relying on a kipping motion for the last few. If you had asked me yesterday if I could do even one strict pull-up, I probably would have said no. So that was a nice surprise. First time doing burpees in a long time, and feeling it a bit in my knees, but between the cryo-cuff and vitamin I(buprofin), its all good...hopefully! :D
