you must crank out those pullups like a hot knife cutting through butter. I am the cold knife cutting through cold butter.

pullups @ 15 lbs

i was doing the squats between 39 to 43 seconds. they weren't too bad.

also, i am doing the bench at 185 lbs. it should equate to be at 260 for the challenge. My max is 235, but i tweaked my front deltoid about two weeks ago, which only really only pains me during the bench. i did 18 last week, 18 yesterday, and 28 today. Which makes it 64 for me for the challenge.

I still haven't bought a bench yet, i am still shopping around, which forces me to either bench at work (they have a small gym) or at the gym.

rd 1: :40
rd 2: :45
rd 3: :35
rd 4: :39
rd 5: :45 (smacked one of my plates against the rack and paused too long for it to settle. i was shooting for 30 secs flat.)

next time i think i'll raise the weight to 225 or 250 for the squats and raise the pullups to 300lbs. this was a really cool wod.
