  2. Attacked this solo today with Marc gone.
    A) 150×2, 180×2, 210×2, 240×1, 255×1, 270×1, 270×1 (followed %, no misses, felt strong here)
    B) Worked up to 295 (92%) for the heavy single, then: 3×3@255 (80%). Did these on the 2:30 and felt good.
    C) 3MUs & 40 Dubs – went UB on the MUs with the exception of the 3rd rd when I lost my grip after no2. Dubs went ok but with 5 trips in one of the rounds, it was a quick turnaround to get on the rings. All in all, not too shabby here and great goat work for me.
    D) 20:12 This was a strategy game on the C2B and a mental game on the wall balls. Stuck to 5s on the C2B and was watching the clock for rest times. Ended up at quicker singles for the last 15. Started with 10s on the WBs which quickly became 8s & 7s which then became 6s & 4s. Legs were smoked and talked myself out of just moving. My wife was there trying to push me in the end and what felt like 5-10s rest to me, was actually 25s… pretty ugly. C2B – 11:22, WBs 8:50

    On to the next one

  4. A. Done. 230#
    B. Up to 245
    Then 3×3 done at 230
    C. Did 4 MU each round and the first two sets of 40 were UB, then my rope snapped and used matts backup which was too long for me so I broke a bunch.

    D. Had a feeling I’d rip here and I did. Stupid.
    Got through 56 chest to bars before ripping and moving onto wall balls.
    Took 11:35 with what I did.

  5. A. Up to 260
    B. Up to 285, 3×3 at 270
    C. MU: 4/4/5×3
    D. 16:55. Tried to do the pull ups in sets of 10. Couple sets I didn’t make it that far. I would say I probably did 6/10 sets UB in 10s. Few sets of 5, one or two of 7. WB: 25/25/15/15/20. This HURT. I’m not sure what I learned, but I’m sorry for whatever we did to deserve this punishment. We’ll be better with the barbells I promise. Haha 😜

    B. 3×3 @ 165
    C. MU progression
    D. 16:55 RX.
    I tried to do sets of 5 on these but it ended up being 3s and 2s and then down to singles at the end. Just tried to keep chipping away here and keeping the singles quick. My hands really hurt and an old tear opened up. Lungs didn’t start burning til the wall balls and then they burned like a MF.

    *I haven’t had a workout in a while that made me so frustrated I wanted to leave the gym. That is how this one made me feel! I had no chest to bars, they weren’t there for some reason so I did 5’s and 1’s. The wall ball was okay.

    D. 17:43
    Finished the pullups at 8:45 in sets of 6-8. No tears today, thank god. Hands hurt so bad. I broke the majority of wallballs into sets of 5. I should have done bigger sets here, I wasn’t as tired as I thought I would be after them.

  10. A.110 – 195
    B. 245, 220×3
    C. 3MU for the first 3, then 2, then 1. 40 DU
    D. 23:30
    This was rough. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 and then sets of 5 till the end. I didn’t know how long to rest or how fast to go, my hands hurt and it took a while. I didn’t know if I should rest longer and try to get sets of 5 or if it would have been better to rest less and do fewer reps per set. There was only a 25# ball, these I did in sets of 10. I learned that I go slow when I workout alone – need to keep pushing when I don’t have anyone else to motivate me or pace against.

  11. A. Up to 133#, felt good here
    B. 155 x3, didn’t do a single for some reason
    C. MU progression w/ green band but shoulders still smoked from Saturday
    D.24:27
    I failed a lot of reps on c2b so I did well over 75 attempts then ripped my left hand on the last 15 and had to drop down to regular kipping pull-ups :/. Tried to do sets of 5 but ended up with sets of 3s and 2s toward the end. The wall balls were okay for me. Just plowed through.

    B. 255, 225x3x3

    C. Did 8 ring rows and 8 dips. Arm is still shaky didn’t want to try MUs
    DUs still suck. Just need to put more time into them.

    D. Got the first 40 strict, since I can’t kip to save my life. Started doing sets of 5s then 2s then would do 1s with 3 sec rest
    Wallballs were fine first 50 in sets of 10 then rest were sets of 7 or 5.

    B. I worked up to a heavy single at 185 and it felt really good and fast; did 3×3 at 155.
    C. did 3 MU on odd min, these feel better and better each week im really feeling the progress!
    D. 17:03- I took so much time resting mostly on the C2B and honestly most were not C2B no matter how hard I kipped and pulled my chest just was not getting there. This metcon was pure mental and really destroyed me. Did sets of 10 on WB, these weren’t as bad.
