Just a quick question, is the Underdog T-Shirt thing still going on?  I don’t know if I’ll beat any of them soon or anything, it just adds WAY more motivation if I know there’s a BX T-shirt involved

Wow. What a griptastic nightmare!

I could not have said that better myself!

I was unable to complete the entire workout at 95#.  After the second set I lowered the weight to 75#.  I was unable to grip the heavier weight anymore.  On a positive note, other than the grip, the reps were flowing good.

Rest day for me. Thought I would make up for my less than complete effort on Monday with the row/burpee/run disaster and do a little self-imposed/created metcon:

15 min AMRAP
Row 500
Active rest (2:30 pace) as long as it took to complete previous 500m

completed 5 rounds and change (about 73m) total distance 3246m.

This sucked, but hit the right idea I think. Have a great day!

“Helen” Modified

Three rounds for time:
Run 0.25 on treadmill (8.0 mph)
21 swings 55 pound dumbbell swing (all unbroken)
12 Pull-ups (broken)

13:55 +/- hit the wrong button on my watch at the end.

I’m losing :15 to :20 each trip from the treadmill to the pullup bar. I am unsure if this is a curse or a blessing. I’m thinking both.
