100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, and 300 squats? And you think you were having a bad day…

Today was a great day.  I’m starting to feel more myself after a 2-week hiatus.  I’ve been focusing on eating clean for the last couple of days and it has definitely made a big difference in my energy levels.  Not quite Zone Diet exactly, but good lean proteins, lots of veggies and limited simple carbohydrates with moderate fats.

I wanted to tax my system and get the blood flowing in preparation for doing the Murph in about 2 weeks time.  The last time I did the Murph I got spanked.  Not this time!   I’m gonna be ready.

The WOD was simple:

• 100 x Pull-ups
• 200 x Push-ups
• 300 x Air Squats

Complete the above as quickly as possible.   Record time to comments.

My time to complete was 17:45.  I’m happy with that result, but really forgot how difficult it can be doing static pull-ups opposed to kipping pull-ups.  I was finding that after 6 rounds of 10, 20, 30, I had to go to 5, 10, 15 until completion.  Regardless, I’m ecstatic with the final outcome and hope to complete Murph in sub-37 minutes (that’s about 6 minutes of my PB).
