"Lynne"

Well, I want to scale up on this, but without a spotter, I'm afraid to try for max bench presses. I'll be scaling to "puppies" per the BrandX site. Maybe once the hubs gets home, I can ask him to spot me to see how heavy I can go on the benches.

Warm-Up:
250 single-unders (jump rope)
20 Ring Rows
10 HSPU progressions (toes on bench)
10 Ring Dips (2 bands)
10 KTC's

Lynne (Puppies):
Five rounds of -
Max push ups
Max pull ups or beginner pull ups (**Ring Rows**)

Total P/U: 59
Total R/R: 46
--Round 1: 18/9
--Round 2: 16/8.5
--Round 3: 14/10
--Round 4: 16/8
--Round 5: 11/11

This was a weird WOD... I'm not used to max effort workouts, I guess. My arms are so dead:).

We finally got our order of beef yesterday (20lbs.). It doesn't look like much, but I'm hoping this will last us at least a few months. Here are some pics of our meat!


























(Needless to say, the frozen pizza is not for me:)!)

Lynne - Day 60

Today I'm going to scale this to a pack/puppies combo. I was going to just do the "puppies" scaling, which eliminates the bench press, but Adam called me a puss, so I'm going to try it out with him spotting me. At least he can help me with form on this since he is familiar with this type of lifting. I'll probably just stick with the 45lb. bar, possibly try for 55lbs. on the last set or something. I don't want to push it since I've never really done bench presses before.

Warm-Up:
5 min. jog
20 ball sit-ups
10 KTE's
10 HSPU progressions (shins on bench)
10 burpees

"Lynne" (scaled):
Five rounds for max reps of:
Bench press (45-55#)
Pull-ups (jumping/band assisted)

Time: 26:43 (12 minutes of rest)
--Round 1 (time/reps): 19 bench (45#)/17 jumping pull-ups, 3:55
--Round 2: 17/8 (band assisted) + 6 (jumping), 2:52
--Round 3: 20/10 (jumping), 3:18
--Round 4: 21/7, 3:09
--Round 5: 14 (55#)/7, 2:29
