Alright well I did this today. I'm coming off a head cold/sore throat so I did pretty decent all things considered. Made it all the way to muscle ups and got two just as time expired.
If I repeat it, and I'm not sure I will, hopefully I will be a little more healthy and finish the burpees faster. It took me about six minutes to finish them. OHS were okay, I did two sets of ten (power snatching the bar into place was not as hard as I feared) and then six and four. I think I had just under a minute left when I finished them, and walking over to the rings burned some time.
Good times. I was on my back for a good while after. ![cool](/images/graemlins/default/cool.gif)
Anyone else? Highest score at my gym so far is 119. I love this shit.

The bar facing burpees makes them much harder. Jumping over the bar can suck it

Nice work man. I did it again today, and I was SO FRIGGING CLOSE a full round!! I got 96 reps this time. Faster on the burpees, barely over five minutes, and then my OHS were about the same if not slower. Made it to MU's with about 90 seconds to spare and got 6.
I think I'm pretty happy with it, I had the highest score of the non-superstar group in my gym. Being strong with overhead squats definitely helps.

i got 81 reps. i paced myself on the burpees, probably taking at least 5 minutes, knowing that i needed to be in decent shape for OHS. w/ my last 1RM OHS attempt @ 126#, i just had to get as many as i could. it wasn't too bad but I am icing my elbow right now because I slightly hyperextended it letting the bar hang back on one of the reps.
i'm confident if i did this a few more times the improvement in OHS would be enough to get me to muscle ups in time

Wayne you are hitting some crazy volume, make sure you are eating and sleeping enough. How sore are you usually?
I've never experienced any leg numbness from handstands personally, but speaking of numbness, my left hand used to go numb/pins and needles from OHS, lol.

I kinda did. I only did the first round of them unbroken and then I dropped each time thereafter.
How'd everyone do on this week's games wod? I got 7 rounds plus 8 toes to bar. I'm pretty happy with that considering I'm sick and have been on a cocktail of drugs for a sinus infection, lol. Toes to bar held me back the most after round 4, I got too tired to string them all together and had to start doing a double swing to get my feet up there. I think I probably rested a bit too much on cleans too.

The people who are competing were being judged. I already know I suck so I no rep myself, I ain't trying to brag about my little punk ass 4 rounds when chicks are busting out 7-9 rounds at my gym.
This is the 2nd time I've done toes to bar since starting crossfit so I don't have kip shit or the lat strength to muscle them out.
A lot of people at my gym were getting no repped on the toes to bar and wall balls, this chick got pissed and ripped her watch off and blamed the no rep on it LOL.

yeah i just wonder if doing the lifts w/ that form at the full weight is because - he's so much stronger than everyone else that this is really light - no one wants to tell him no
it's got to be an awkward situation for the trainers involved for many reasons. i doubt he went through on-ramp sessions

Why on earth did they let you do that many pullups after almost a year off and after doing 5x5 push press?
Gotta start back slow man. You could have maybe...oh I dunno, stopped after the first time puking? Lol. You got guts...there's toughing it out and then there's taking it a bit too far. Take it a little easier next time, it's not going to come back all at once. Welcome back to the fold though, stick with it so you don't ever have to deal with this again!

yahoo sports article that posts the Barkley vid
the comments show the huge gap in ideas that still exists in fitness. a lot of "barkley is overweight, he should just be doing cardio" and "throwing the weights around" = power cleans

To be fair, his form is pretty awful, lol. He did wall balls weird too, I wonder if he has knee issues?

Just did the 11.6 workout earlier, anyone else take it on yet? I got 78 reps, sorta weaksauce lol. Made it to the round of 15 thrusters with about 2:30 to spare, but that's when I completely imploded and by the time I finished it I had like 10 seconds to do pullups. My legs are WRECKED!

why? because the Thruster is 5# more? because of the way the sets are broken up? or is it the C2B pullups? if its the C2B, i'll be fine, because i don't find them any harder than regular pullups
