6 rounds, rest exactly one minute between rounds

  • 5 x Strict Pullups
  • 3 x Strict Pullups @ 10kg
  • 1 x Strict Pullup @ 20kg
  • 1 x Strict Pullup @ 20kg
  • 3 x Strict Pullups @ 10kg
  • 5 x Strict Pullups

Then inspired by the CF New England WOD from January 4…

5 rounds of AMRAP in 3 minutes, rest 3 minutes between rounds

  • 12 x Deadlifts @ 125lbs
  • 9 x Hang Power Cleans
  • 6 x Push Press
  • Max Calorie Row

Results: Pullups seemed easy so will continue to add load in the coming weeks and see what that does. Metcon 14-14-2-3-2 calories per round… probably should have used lighter weight but was looking for a heavy challenge.
