HARDCORE!

TH080131

What a great way to finish the month! This is a hardcore workout!!

Three rounds for time of:
225 Deadlift, 15 reps
15 Handstand push-ups
15 Pull-ups
95 pound Thruster, 15 reps

Being that I still haven't practiced handstand pushups, I'll do extremely declined pushups to make up for them, but otherwise I should be able to do this one as Rx'd.

Big Dawgs:
as Rx'd
women: 155# deadlift 65# Thruster

The Porch:
10 reps of everything at Rx'd weight
Women 155# Deadlift 65# Thruster

Pack:
Three rounds for time of:
15 reps of everything but scale DL weight to 185 and thruster to 65-75
women 95-115# Deadlift 35-45# Thruster

Puppies:
Three rounds for time of:
10 reps of everything but scale DL to 135 and thruster to 25-35
Women 55-65# Deadlift 10-15# Thrusters

Buttercups:
Three rounds for time of:
pvc-45 pound Deadlift, 10 reps
10 Handstand push-ups
10 Pull-ups
pvc-10 pound Thruster, 10 reps

Q's results:
WOW!! I actually did the HSPU's!!! I hooked my feet onto the bar of the smith machine so my torso and thighs were perpendicular to the ground...and I did all 45 of 'em!!! I guess I've just been not setting up right when I do them against the wall. They were actually not that hard to do. The only scaling I did was to make the DL's 185 instead of 225, but I think next time I do this I'll actually be able to do 225 cuz even after being sick the 185's were getting easy. This was a good confidence-building workout for me. My self-image came way down with being sick, and this boosted me back up!
Total time - not the best...14:39...but I'm thrilled that I got thru it while still fighting this cold. Oh yeah...I puked after I was done. I've finally met Pukey!!!
