    Macho Man - Started at 152 & finished 4 rds... moved down to 136 and finished 6 more. First time doing this, very tough!!! Really wanted to finish 6 152... next time!

    EMOTE 12 - so this really revealed how much my metabolic capacity still needs work! I did everything unb and had about :20 of rest but could only maintain 6 rds before I had to switch to even/ odd (ttb/ du). Awesome job to those guys and gals that go all 12 rds!

  15. 1. 375 old 5rm was 365. That was not a max attempt either, it was a heavy, but not a max.

    2. So, no KB over 53, so I did 100 snatches for time, then did 80 Lunges in place in my garage with 120 in the front rack. No sandbag at home. I did the math and my lunge was over a meter so 80 was the calculation based on the average length of my steps. I forget the time. 16 something for it all.

    3. Done. 7 TTB ea round.

    4. 275, 225, 155, 25. Done. Ouch.

    Spent over an hour shoveling snow today then went for a 2 mile run to the mechanics to pick up the van. Feeling a little worn when I hit the gym

    1) 3+7 reps - screw it, I'm not redoing today. Compares well with Monday's beep test, also just short of 4 rounds.

    2) A little short on the DU's some rounds, took a 1 minute break twice when I didn't make 30 in the round before. Only 1 round with UB DU's.

    OPEN MASTERS 45

    1.) "Macho Man" 7+ 8 reps @185 (have a chest cold. I think I could get 10 rds)

  56. Open Program
    1) 4 rds + 6 at 185, rested 5:00 and then did 6 rds at 155. The jerks were brutal on this. No leg drive after the squats.
    2) Done, but subbed 7 box jumps for the d-u bc I can't do them in the garage. Surely easier, but I really wanted to get all 12 rds of T2B, which I did.
