VolkeFit: Nah, Nah, Stevie I'm good. I could do another but I probably should not

250m row
15 bell swings (55 lb)
25 burpees
15 swings
500m row
15 swings
25 burpees
250m row

Did it in 9:07.  

I later figured out that Steve forgot to write down one more set of 15 swings in there, right before the final row.   That's fine.  I still would have been sub 10 minutes.

He asked if I wanted to do it again, but I was all like...

B-Squad: In my imagination, I'm the stronger partner

A Saturday morning B-Squad WOD!

It was designed as a partner WOD, but I had no partner.  I shadowed JP and Janelle and tried to work at the same time Janelle did.  That idea sort of fell apart, as I couldn't match her pace on the squats (she was doing full sets of 10 with a bar, and I had to split mine into two sets), but I did manage to keep pace with them overall.

As a little bonus challenge to myself, I decided that I would do 60 per cent of the work for each exercise.   So figuring out the math was fun.

Teams of two:
20 front squat 135 lb (Tyler's share: 12)
20 burpees (12)
20 front squats (12)
30 bell swings @ 55 lb (18)
20 front squats (12)
40 pull-ups (24)
20 front squats (12)
50 wall ball (30)
20 front squats (12)
60 push-ups (36)
20 front squats (12)
80 sit-ups (48)

I was done in 16:45
