ramping up!

Yesterday morning I completed 11 rounds of my "basic". 5 pullups, 10 pushups, 10 situps, 10 back extensions, 15 squats. Total = 550 reps

in the afternoon I took the guys through 6 more rounds of the above, a 10 minute rest then the following "chipper" workout. ( a chipper is 1 round, no repeating) Time yourself to complete:

25 pushups
run 200m
25 tricep extensions using (1) 40# dumbbell

25 (18") box jump
run 200m
25 calf extensions

25 pullups
run 200m
25 curls using (1) 40#dumbbell

25 squats
run 200m
25 lunges (total steps) holding (1) 40# dumbbell

25 dips
run 200m
25 overhead dumbbell press using (1) 40# dumbbell

25 situps
run 200m
25 back extensions using (1) 40# dumbbell

My time: 13:51

Taylor, however, beat me by 2 seconds: 13:49 grrrr

This was 1 full minute shorter than I had done 2 years ago. But 2 years ago, we didn't have 300 rep "prefatigue" nor was I doing 550 reps in the morning.

Evan shaved 4 minutes off his time from 2 years ago and came in at 15:10

It was a tough one!
