Metcon, try number 2

Warmup:
2x situps, good mornings

Ten rounds for time of:
15 reps deadlift (135#)
15 reps pushups

total - 18:25
1:12 1:22 1:22 1:43 1:59 2:08 2:04 2:14 2:13 2:09

Demonstrated on Crossfit 070527, suggested by Brian (albeit with a wicked grin).

This one got the heart rate going good. I actually started breaking up the pushups before the DLs, probably around round 4. Started having to break the DLs due to grip, usually 10-5 or 8-7. One caveat is I tried not to bounce the bar, so I was skimming the ground - next time, may try to find pads for the weights, etc.

Did this to compensate for my miserable showing on Monday's 5 round, 95# extravaganza. Haven't tried this one before, but it's a good solid burner.

Strong work, that's a great score.

Glad to see you've joined me in the art of "Procrastination by making plots of data that have absolutely nothing to do with my job".

looks good! love the graph. now, I'm going to wait and see how you're doing in another day before I decided to add this to my future repertoire. if you take six days to recover like brian....

I'd rather think of it as "I'm a better source of data than my evolutionarily disadvantaged NHP friends"

I definitely feel stiff today, but not too bad yet - after hearing Brian's travails, really tried to avoid loading the back entirely as the sets went on, that helped a bit.

Going first sucks ... I don't think I'll work up the courage for this one for at least another month.
