Coe

Workout 31 August 2010:

"Coe"
Ten rounds for time of:
65 pound Thruster, 10 reps
10 Ring push-ups

Results: 23'24
Previous best: 25'50 ("Team" Coe, 13 Aug 10)

When I last did this workout two weeks ago, I did it as a team effort with two other people where our goal was to do 300 thrusters and 300 ring push-ups. At that time, I did about 100 of each, give or take a few reps.

Today was my first attempt at a solo Coe. I'm very surprised at my time as I expected to finish closer to 25-30 minutes. I was able to do all 10 sets of thrusters unbroken. I did the first four rounds of push-ups unbroken but then finished the others splitting up into six and four reps. Next time, I'll increase the thruster weight to 70-75lbs with the eventual goal of 95lb thrusters used in a non-scaled Coe.

This workout is in honor of Army Sgt. Keith Adam Coe, 30, who died April 27th, 2010, in Khalis, Iraq, of wounds sustained from an enemy explosive device.
