Tyson's Corner 2

Workout 6 June 2009:

Warm-up (not timed):
Four rounds of:
Run 400 meters
90 seconds burpees

"Lynne-lite"
Four rounds for max reps of:
Bench press, body weight
Pull-ups
* No rest between bench and pull-ups but as needed after pull-ups

Results: 28 total bench (155lbs), 66 total kipping pull-ups
Previous best: 36 bench (150lbs), 107 kipping pull-ups (full 5-round Lynne with rest, 27 Dec 08)

First off, the warm-up could easily be an entire workout in itself. The saying at the affiliate down here is "Jason's warm-up is your workout." It's true, and it's great. It was actually a partner workout where one person ran while the other person did burpees, then you switched, for four rounds. It forced you to do the run quickly so your partner wasn't stuck doing lots of burpees.

The workout was "Lynne" but due to time and equipment constraints, I did four rounds instead of the usual five and didn't rest between the bench presses and pull-ups, which I normally do. My numbers sucked compared to usual since I was tired after the warm-up and due to the lack of rest after the bench.
