14:52 RX'd...still a bit sore but felt okay.

Can't believe this cycle...BW Back squats the last day of previous cycle...Squat cleans/GHD for day 1...then 'Angie' then thrusters....wow.

'Angie'
100 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats

17:58 Rx'd - PR by a little over a minute.
Push-ups are by far the worst part of this one for me...finished the pull-ups at about 5:24

I also jumped in on a 500m row for time just to fill out the machines with bodies. 1:39 something was my time. Not a PR but not too bad after 'Angie' I guess.

Went to a charity fundrasier at Fit Inc. The owner/trainer there is a friend of MCCF and always supports our endeavors so I went to help a friend and for a good cause...

Did 'Angie' yesterday and a 500 m row for time so I didn't want to do any rowing or BW stuff...as luck would have it...

2000m row for time - 7:32 for a PR. Prob had more in the tank and think I could keep a better pace for the first 1500 - (note, JPM beat me)

Max rep pullups - 34. For some reason I started with the wrong grip and think I could've done more fresh and if I had gripped the bar properly.
(Note, JPM beat me here too!!)

3 rounds
29 burpees
29 squats
29 push-ups

9 something - timer got messed up. Everybody beat me here...Owell win some, lose some.

Jason - i don't know if you've covered it elsewhere, but i was wondering if you might be willing to share some info with me about your diet? i would basically just like to know what diet you did along your way from start to finish, what you do today, and if you have any tips that maybe helped you along. i'm kind of using your success as a role model for what i hope will be my own, and after 5 months on CF i'm beginning to realize that i won't make many more strides without 2 things happening: 1) tightening up my diet and STICKING TO IT and 2) making some serious gains in mental toughness. if you wouldn't mind sharing, either here or via PM, it'd be more than appreciated...thanks and best of luck on your Level II Cert!

Well - This is my last post before I head out to CA for my Level 2. I'm really excited for this and am looking forward to the entire experience...

Last night I went out to Hyperfit USA in Ann Arbor to run a class for Doug and to pick his brain on the Level II. Doug was very helpful and I appreciate his input.

Also-Doug made me stick around and do the Oly class with their guy...also did a few front squats. Nothing really heavy as I was beat.

Did this today...Few things. I felt like crap (no sleep) and I forgot the darn back extensions!!!

Aaargh! It was tough enough without those darn things anyway.

For time:
25 Walking lunge steps
20 Pull-ups
50 Box jumps, 20 inch box
20 Double-unders
25 Ring dips
20 Knees to elbows
30 Kettlebell swings, 2 pood
30 Sit-ups
20 Hang squat cleans, 35 pound dumbbells
25 Back extensions
30 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball
3 Rope climb ascents

My time
