#100 pullups

[goodfightgonebad]

Hardest workout I’ve ever finished.

But I did finish. First time ever doing Murph without scaling my pullups and pushups!

Time again to start thinking about “Murph,” a crossfit WOD on Memorial Day weekend in memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy who was killed in Afghanistan. The last time I did this workout was two years ago and I remember it being pretty rough. This year my goal is to do my pullups RX for the first time, and finish in under an hour. Next year, my goal is to get my pushups RX as well and maybe even wear a vest. For this year, my main focus is keeping a consistent pace throughout and to not stop.

100 Pullups

100 pushups worked brilliantly. 50 pullups is more confusing. I'm starting from zero so I start with assisted pullups. However, what I have is a chair and a bar. Did I warn you that I'm mixing up my critique of self loathing with strength exercises? I am. I'm complicated that way.

Monday:

Assisted: 3 / rest 60 / 4 / rest 60 / 3 / rest 60

Jump up and lower yourself (1), rest 30, one more, lowering as slowly as you can 

Wednesday:

Assisted: 3 / rest 60 / 5 / rest 60 / 4 / rest 60

Lower: 1, rest 30, 1 slow as you can

Friday:

Assisted: 4 / rest 60 / 5 / rest 60 / 5 / rest 60

Lower: 1, rest 30, 1 slow as you can

Week 2

Week 2 includes pullups you do from lying down. I haven't figured out how I'm going to manage those yet. Rests are still 60 seconds.
