WOD
Quarter Gone Bad
Five rounds for total reps of:
135 pound Thruster, 15 seconds
Rest 45 Seconds
50 pound Weighted pull-up, 15 seconds
Rest 45 Seconds
Burpees, 15 seconds
Rest 45 seconds
Total - 86
Scaled like this: Dumbbell thrusters with 10# each and band assisted pullups. Elbow felt fine on the pullups - I can feel the strength in my arms improving. I need some heavier dumbbells. I love burpees but am terribly slow at them. Any tall people out there find this to be the case or am I just slow? Wait, don't answer that!
My highest numbers were in the last round. The pullups got easier and easier. Arthritis?
I have lost about 8 pounds by sticking to the zone for 1.5 weeks. I think there might be something to the argument which says that a zone diet can help with inflammation...
On another note - I had someone to contact me on the message board at CF. I trained him today. It was a great experience! I helped him with his form on some basic moves. then created a short workout - 21-15-9 Push Press (45#), Air Squats. He said, "I've used a lot more weight and felt a lot less tired." WOOHOO! He had a great attitude and was so willing to learn. Time to start the affiliation process.

:) Keep it up!
On the weight loss - not to slight myself - but, at 6'4" and 245 (before the loss) 8 pounds is not enormous.
Thanks for the holler!
