I thought the WOD was pretty hard but saying that I agree with Pixie that I actually enjoyed it (in retrospect).

I had such a sense of achievement at the blessed end :-]

I like lifting heavy things.

Nice ramble. As I said in the gym, my method suits me better and Ruairi’s suits him better. It’d be interesting to see the difference if the workout was let’s say:

5 Rounds of:

5 Push-Jerks 60kg
10 Burpee Pullups

I dunno, I like my method but it was damn slow towards the end. Everything was damn slow towards the end.

Looking at the whole thing, Ruairi’s Burpee Pull Ups were non-kipping/big jumping, whereas Bobby decided to do burpee, then kip.

Now, to me, Bobby’s version looked slower so we tested it.

I did 10 Ruairi versions in 28 seconds and felt pretty shagged.
I did 10 Bobby versions in 40 seconds and felt pretty shagged.

Now while the cycle time was faster on the R version, Will noticed me slow down, which didn’t happen on the B version.

They also reckon the R version tires you out more for the PJ. I’m not so sure, it would depend on the strict pull up strength and kipping efficiency, along with your PJ efficiency.

It’d be interesting to compare the R and B versions across 100 Burpee Pull Ups. I think then you’d get a better idea.

Anyway, ramble over.

I really enjoyed that WOD I must admit, think round 4 is the worst of the lot, you just feel awful and the end seems a whole way off. Good WOD though! I’d like to o it with the pull ups to see what the difference is, as it was with the burpee box jumps my legs were an absolute mess going into the PJ’s each time which slowed me down a lot but the cycle time is definitely quicker on the box jumps than the pull ups.

Martha despite being a cute 3 year old is also a nasty nasty fecker of a WOD. I figured it would be a good one for Ruairi as he has a quick burpee cycle time. The PJs were almost a rest from the burpees which were just nasty. I was going to take today off as i wasn’t feeling the best (wine & beer oh dear!) but i could hardly dodge my own daughter’s WOD. Amy has been promoted to No.1 daughter after today.

Ya you sure did fly out at some rocketing pace Ruairi. Certainly a tough WOD. I was sprawled out on the floor for a good bit afterwards. I had a feeling it would be hard though as it’s kind of similar to ‘Amy’ which I found very hard at the invitational.
