CrossFit Day 52

Today’s workout was seven rounds of weighted pullups (1 rep for max load per round). Unfortunately, I have only two or three real deadhang pullups. So, this is what I’m doing instead:

Seven rounds for time:

  1. 10 assisted pullups
  2. 10 pushups
  3. 10 bench dips

The pullups weren’t too bad, primarily because I had my feet on a nearby apparatus and was pulling maybe half my body weight. The first couple rounds of pushups were not horrible either, but I started to wear out fairly quickly and had to resort to subdividing the pushups into threes or fours. The dips started to hurt me in later rounds as the number of completed exercises climbed. It sort of feels like someone punched me in the breastbone. But, that’s probably just that I need to find a good hand position (or start doing parallel bar dips instead).

My results: 15:09, 8:58 zone (hard); HR: 152 avg, 176 max; 185 cal
