I've been feeling under the weather lately, and so I took a couple of days off. I decided today is the day to get back to it. So, today's workout is the "Pull Up Complex." I'll let you know how things go after I do the work tonight.
UPDATE: Well, I managed to get a DNF in my own back yard. The number of rounds involved in the workout totally dropped me, as did the extra weight for the weighted pull -ups. I went down from 35# to 20# but still couldn't complete the entire rep set. I ended up doing 5 rounds in about 35 minutes. Yuck!
It was ugly. I looked at the Brand X forum, but the workout they had posted for puppies was too easy, while the pack workout (what I originally posted) was too much. So I ended up having to scale on the fly. Sad thing is, even the last two rounds of weighted pull ups were truncated. I only managed to do about 2 reps in each set before my arms totally let go and couldn't pull me up.
The up side is, my double-unders are much better. I worked on them during the warm up. I've been watching several videos from the Crossfit Journal (a steal at $25 a year). Several have had information on how to do better double unders, with the post by Boz and Todd on July 16th really helping me out.
