Thursday 12/03/09

Time: 5:30 a.m.

15-12-9 reps for time of:
1-arm DB Thruster - right arm, 60#/40#
1-arm DB Thruster - left arm, 60#/40#
1-hand Weighted Pull-up - right hand, 60#/40#
1-hand Weighted Pull-up - left hand, 60#/40#


For the "1-hand Weighted Pull-up - right hand," your right hand is on the bar, and your left hand grabs your right wrist. The "1-hand Weighted Pull-up - left hand" is analogous.

While my terminology is still not entirely accurate, I've dubbed these as "1-hand" pull-ups and not "1-arm" pull-ups (since both arms are doing the pulling). While more difficult than a regular pull-up, the difference is not huge. However, these are also weighted, so they will be quite challenging indeed.

The state of my hands prohibits me from joining you in this endeavor, I believe. My left hand has a huge chunk out of it from last night. We'll see, but...I think we'll see "Not today." =)

That . . . is unfortunate. I think you should join me in some other similarly miserable adventure. These pull-ups are going to be brutal.

I won't be bumming out tomorrow morning since we have games tomorrow night.

Subbed one-armed lat pull downs for the pull-ups. Used 50# resistance. I couldn't budge 60# with one hand, but the 50# seemed...like I could do a lot in a row. A lot being 10 first round. Frustrating. Anyway, my forearms and wrists are shot so...it must have still "worked." =)

Used 30# DB for the thrusters.

Humility - thy name is "1-handed pull-up." I did the unweighted version - I maybe could have done a few at 60#, but even the unweighted ones ended up being grouped in sets of usually 3 (I think the range for all sets was 1-5 reps).

Good WOD though - I now have spots on my wrists where there is no hair due to grabbing that arm.
