Knowing I was going to do Lynne yesterday I weighed myself upin waking up, 170lbs. Wow, okay I had hoped I would have gained some weight but I beleive I have become leaner because as strong as I have ever been so its good news.
I tried one rep of 170lb BP and found it difficult enough to the point that I would be getting one rep, maybe, by the end of the workout. So instead I did 135lbs or about 75% BW. Pullups I intended to keep strict but found myself kipping. By the end though I could only do one so to increase intensity I added 15 jumping pull ups.
So here's the breakdown:
1) BP 8 PU 18 kipping
2) BP 6 PU 8 kipping
3) BP 5 PU 3 strict
4) BP 4 PU 1 strict 15 jumping
5) BP 7 PU 1 strict 15 jumping
I wasn't sand bagging. The reason for the increased BP on the fifth round was thast I had to wait about a minute to get back on the BP as it was being used.
Cool thing happened though. Afterward I still had time before work so I did some squat therapy. tried some pistols-yeah right. then some Turkish getups with an 8kg med ball. One of my co-workers was watching and tried the pistols, he did a lot better then me. Then he tried the Turkish get up and didn't do too bad. He would probably do well at Crossfit if he would give it a shot. Another co-worker and friend of Steve's was in the gym and asked about the TGU as well. I explained to him a bit about a crossfit and that Steve is right into it. So he tried Lynne. Afterward he said he had enjoyed it and really felt the impact of the straight work no rest style of exercise.
