Probably should not have done.....



......the extra upper body work yesterday. I should have known that Coach Glassman would make it up on one of these WODs. Today's Crossfit.com WOD is "Lynne" which consists of 5 rounds of Max reps of the benchpress (using your bodyweight or scale it) and pullups. Seriously- my upper body was feeling it from yesterday, but I still thought I could hit a pr here. After my first set of benches I was not so sure. I started to die around rep 15- about 10 reps short of where I thought I would be. Ended first set at 18, 2 reps short of what I had done in October 07. Pullups were up, so maybe I could make up some ground on those! PR'd in the end. Benches were down a little, if I had not done them yesterday that would have been reversed. My weight is at 190, but in October 07 (the last "lynne") it was 195, so that is what I used.

Old total looked like this:
BP (195) 20 17 14 12 11 (74)
PU's 25 20 17 15 11 (88)
Total- 162

Today went like this:
BP(195) 18 16 14 12 11 (71)
PU's 30 25 22 21 15 (113)

Total- 184

In honor of the NFL combine, which is going on at this moment (good luck to all those with destiny, and to those who dream) I posted a couple shots from SI, from two years back when Vernon Davis was preparing for the combine at Athlete's Performance in Tempe. What a stud! I wonder what this cat could do to "Lynne?"
