21 Deadlift, 225lb, run 800m, 15 DL, 800, 9 DL, 800
14:37
I dropped weight to 185. And picked up a workout partner, Mike at FTF. I made the mistake of running with him on the first run. By the second run I was wishing I had kept the weight just to slow me down and give me time to recover (I actually doubt that it would work). The last 800 was so hard. It was the hardest run I've had in months, I had one harder last year.
WOD 2
10 rounds of 10 pull-ups, 10 ring dips
35:22
I thought I was going sub 20. I finished the first round in 1 min but faded quickly in the dips.
Weakness: dips (and other pushes that require strength)
Strength: pull-ups, I have a strange stile of pull-up. I have never seen anyone else do pull-ups like I do. I do cyclical pull-ups, but they're not like the butterfly kip. I actually learned how to kip on the rings so my muscle-up kip and my pull-up kip are the same. My pull-ups are faster than the regular kip but slower than the butterfly, but much more powerful than the butterfly kip, and for me more powerful than regular kip as well. At 160lb I can generate a lot of power from my hips (see my profile picture) which means I don't use my arms as much. My limiting factor is usually my grip, not my arm strength.
