Tried again but my quads quit on me about 6 mins in halfway thru round 4...everything locked up
Oh well
On to 19.2

7 full rounds plus 19 wall balls...my middle brother did 8 full rounds (6'4", 30, probably weighs 235)

This one should be fun

Been working on double under endurance but this is one workout where I'm not so sure I can work that fast those first eight minutes. Pacing issues galore with this one.

My hip flexors fatigue quickly on ttb. We just did them on wed & im still sore from them. I'll break them up but that weight will get heavy real quick.

19:35 Scaled

So far I've liked the workouts this year. 19.1 didn't go worth a damn, but I still like the challenge.

118 reps Rx. DUs continue to be my nemesis.

107, double unders got me too.

This ones going to be really interesting.

I can do toes to bar, probably sets of 5, du's are fine, assuming i'm relaxed can do in under 1 minute. No clue what to expect on squat clean time.

I'd like to think i can get to the squat cleans in round 2 or sneak into round 3 and get through the du's. I just have 0 clue on how my timing will go on the t2b/sc's.

edit, after reviewing prelim results from other places it looks like doing a few sc's in round 2 is a solid goal

167 RX then pulled something in my foot.

165 rx, finished at 7:58... really wish I could have attempted 1 at 185. That second round of toes to bar was brutal.

167 Rx, just like I thought. My hip flexors went in the 1st round.

138. Really got to get these DU's down

Got the stomach bug early this morning. Toes to bar made it so much worse.

171 RX with a 6:12 tie breaker.

253rx
Had about 1:45 left but no legs to get a good first pull

Still huge iprovement from 2016

Scaled it and finished in 19:24. Never want to do that again

Anyone watched the video of Froning crushing 19.2?

Watched during lunch. Insane.

ALIENS

How come he isn't riding around on the floor in pain like us peasants? I didn't make it past the first eight minutes, so I too slammed my belt

He coming back? That'd get me interested again.

He's in this year, as far as I can tell. He's on the Leaderboard.

I think he's just doing the open for fun because teams can't qualify through the open this year. That's what i gathered on instagram. Could be wrong.

Thats the part that got me
When the 12 min mark hit i went down hard and hyperventilating for a good 5 mins
He just slams his belt and walks away

I did too, but I'm holding out hope he's going to compete against Frazier

He's a got damn animal. May have never dominated like Frazier but he rises up in the clutch like few in all of sports. I want to see the head to head

WTF IS THIS NONSENSE

Def interesting

I'm going to give it one shot Monday. Went today for the first time since the stomach bug last weekend. Felt pretty weak and heart got racing real quick.
That being said, this is some BS workout

I had a few thoughts...
1. Remembering how much the front rack lunges sucked last time.
2. Remembering how much my shoulders hate me and are my weakest link.
3. Laughing bc no way I'm doing any handstand walks, especially after the rest of this workout.

Its reckless

98 Rx (8 HSPU) with an 8:37 tiebreak. That thing is a grind.

I watched the live workout. There were a lot of no reps on the HSPU's according to standards.
Gonna be tough.

How miserable is this lunge? I can snatch the 50 lb no problem I just have 0 clue how the balance goes.

I may fail miserably but get a few reps rx for my score then for my actual workout do the scaled. This workout is absurd. That oh lunge is gonna kill most average people. (Coming from someone in the 50th percentile overall)
