  11. I'm 17 so it's hard to meet some of the awesome scores y'all are getting, but I ended up improving from 200 reps to 236 reps. Thanks for the tips Ben, those step ups really helped after I burnt out and the new bar set up was nice as well! Good luck tomorrow everybody!

    1. Nice work. Man I wish I was 17 again... Just know you are competing with a 36 year old.

      That makes me wonder - am I the town geezer here? Anyone older than me?

  19. Just repeated 13.2 so I can relax and party tonight and quit agonizing over it. And it is sheer agony! Ha!

    Happy with an improved score of 227, 25 more reps than Thursday. Started doing step-up/jump downs halfway through the second round. Conditioning needs lots more work. The 5k trail race this morning didn't help my back and legs, but I was committed.

    Thanks for all the tips and support from this site and coach Ben. Rock it tomorrow everyone!

  20. Games programming a day behind. Doing met-cons first.

    2 - FS/Burpee/T2B - 16:50

    1 - Squat 5x3x275 - hahaha, this was all I could manage after all the FS, it was like drunk squatting on a cruise ship in rough seas
