Saturday

Warmup: 2 mile bike ride to the gym.

Strength: Deadlift and Strict Press @ 70%, 80%, and 90% 1RM

Warmed up with 225# and 315# for my deadlifts before hitting the wod.
Used 500# as my 1RM so my Deadlifts were: 350#, 400#, and 450# for the last set. The 450# felt a little heavier than usual but i finished the very last rep with a little struggle.
Used 155# as my 1RM for my shoulder press: 110#, 125#, and 145# for my last set. All three sets felt great.

Met con: For time
30 Pull-Ups
400m Farmers Walk (2 32k KBs) 
20 Pull-Ups

400m Farmers Walk (2 32k KBs) 
10 Pull-Ups

400m Farmers Walk (2 32k KBs) 
3 Rope Climbs (15ft)
30 Burpees




All i have to say is wow. This was really rough. My forearms were pretty tired from the deadlifts. Tried to do the 30 pullups unbroken, but i had to do them in 2 sets of 15. The first farmers walk was unbelievably rough. Didn't know how i was going to pace myself, so i just took off. It took me more than 4 mins to finish before hitting the 20 pullups. My strategy for the second walk was to go no less than half way before setting the kettlebells down. It worked cause i was able to shave off more than a minute from my first round. The last set of pullups were unbroken, and the last farmers walk was a lot faster than the previous ones. 
My forearms were completely fried before i hit the rope climb. Did the last climb legless and the burpees were really tiring. My final time was 25:50.
