Christian and I started with a
one mile warm-up run at 10:00. No problem. Jason met us in time to start the workout of the day(WOD), called "Eva". The workouts with girls names always suck...get it?! (oh, no he didn't! oh, yes I did!) Anyway, the gym was still crowded after the warm-up, so Jason did a shoulder/back workout while Christian and I did a quick bicep workout.
No problem:
Incline Bench Db Curls: 12/25s, 12/25s, 12/25s, 12/25s
EZ Bar Preacher Curls: 10/65, 6/75, 3/85, 10/65
Reverse Grip Curls: 12/35, 12/35, 12/35, 12/35
By the time we were done, the gym had cleared out and we got started with the WOD...
BIG problem.
For time:
1/2mi. Run, 30 Kettlebell Swings(16kg), 30 Pull-ups
1/2mi. Run, 30 Kettlebell Swings(16kg), 30 Pull-ups
1/2mi. Run, 30 Kettlebell Swings(16kg), 30 Pull-ups
1/2mi. Run, 30 Kettlebell Swings(16kg), 30 Pull-ups
1/2mi. Run, 30 Kettlebell Swings(16kg), 30 Pull-ups
TIME:49:36, VF:5
Here's another link to a video of this workout being performed. The first round wasn't too bad, but the next four were more than just a little challenging. My weak point was the run. Although the swings and pull-ups hurt, I was still able to keep a good rhythm and knock them out quickly. During the third round, Jason hit a 10 on the VF! He really tried to keep going, but his stomach wanted nothing more to do with it. Interesting note- Jason is the first in our group to hit a 10, which speaks to just how hard he was pushing himself. Christian and I went over to the chow hall afterward and got beef stew to take back to the room. Of course, we could hardly eat it because our hands and arms wouldn't stop shaking.
Another victory at the gym!

Whooo-- a 10 factor! Thank you for not posting a picture of it. That was one massive workout, kid. So much for toning down the muscle to get back to running in the States, huh? :-P
Oh, by the way... maybe the workouts with girls names are harder because we deal better with pain. They're named that so you can aspire to be more like us. :)
