Misery does indeed love company

Warmup:
2x barbell complex (50#)
1x6 inverted rows

WOD from 062707

3 rounds for time:
50 thrusters (45# bar)
35 pullups

KL 22:09
SS 22:30 (2 rounds)

Wow, so deceptive. This one walks the line between muscle failure and exhaustion (and plain ol' mental anguish). Went out hard in the first round (4:45) and suffered the consequences, all thrusters afterwards in 10 rep subsets, pull-ups in 5s and 6s.

Someone called this the Franathon, I think it merits the creation of a new tag for miserable workouts - "Death". Brian, props to you for taking this beast on alone (and without kipping).

Never again

Warm-up:
10-5-5-5-5 overhead squat (45,65,85,95)

WOD from 062707

3 rounds for time:
50 thrusters (45# bar)
35 pullups

35:50

Heart rate at 204 BPM at the end of last set of thrusters (apparently I still have β-adrenergic receptors on my heart despite my age). Forced to use Gravitron due to total muscular failure (aka pussyarms). Everything hurts.

Should only be done in groups.Source: Higginbotham et al., 1986
