"Lynn"

5 Rounds for max reps:

Body weight bench press- 170lbs
Deadhang Pull-ups

18/18
7/10
6/8
6/8
8/9

45/53

I chose to do deadhang instead of kipping to train for the TSC. Also doing DH seemd to show the balance between upper body push and pull. This is the way I will do "Lynn".

In Teams of 2 complete:

-100 Squat Thusters 95/65
-100 Pullups

-One team member can only be completing the reps while the other runs 400m.
-The person running the 400m must return before the team member completing the thrusters/pullups begins their run.

13:22 oe 14:22 (I do not know)

Did this WOD with Tom. All in all good times, I need to get out of the basement more and into a real CF gym for some competition. CF Tri-Cities is a nice box and it was good to hang out with Mark and get some coaching too.
