4-18-2012 - Gator

4-18-12 Bench Press 5 @ 75% – 3 @ 85% – AMRAP @ 95% 5@205 - 3@225 - 6@245 Strict Pull-ups 3-3-3-3 (weighted if possible) 3@45 - 3@55x3 MetCon “Gator” 8 rounds for time of 5 Front Squats 185/115 26 Ring Push-ups Another hero workout. As usual performed as Rx'd. This one was tough. I did the first set of ring push-ups unbroken (all the squats were unbroken), but I think probably about the 23rd one or so, I realized that was going to be a problem, as my I could already feel my chest screaming. Probably didn't help that I hit 6 reps on 245# on the bench, followed by heavy pull-ups. Second round was 15 reps, followed by smaller and smaller sets. By the last round, my last 10 ring pull-ups were done in sets of 1; and I never hit higher than 3 reps. This was a week ago - and I still have rope burns on my arms from this workout - note to self, wear something on you arms next time.
