Death by Pull Ups – 5 Rounds
Met Con – 7:32 (35 lb KB, not 3 lbs Rob! LOL)
27 Birthday Burpees for Melissa…Happy Birthday Melissa…Have a fabulous day and enjoy your week off!
would there be anything equally difficult that i could sub for pull ups in attempts to preserve my already ripped hands (that keep ripping every time i extend them all the way)? i could just try to do them from my finger tips and do less kip… but besides that 🙂
Great workout! I was right on Rob’s heels..yeah right! After it was over, Rob looks at me and says “Lance, why are you always bringing up the rear” and I repond with “I am pacing myself sargent..”
Met Con- 11:00 with the 53# KB… Geez you morning peeps made that sound easy with those awesome times. My hamstrings weren’t jiving well with that KB.

We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]
The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

I will admit that I was like “crap, it’s my birthday already!?” when I first read these posts. I clearly need more sleep.
