400 single unders
21 55# dumbell swings
12 pullups (jumping after the first 3 in round 1)

Congrats to everyone who participated / cheered the Games on! Very sorry to miss…

I echo the bicep pain. Holy crap this hurts.

Ironically….my legs feel fantastic.

I also feel a lot worse than I did after garage games. The soreness in my legs is subsiding, but my lats and biceps are still painfully sore today. I think my pullup inefficiencies led to most of that soreness. I can’t fully straighten my arms without pain.

As Rx’ed- 16:42

The first round took me 6 minutes. The last took me 2 minutes. First round was a lot of failure on the 1 leg overhead squats and walking around staring at the bar angrily, last round was unbroken. Practice.

I would like to echo what Justin and many other people have already said. Thanks to everyone who made this event possible and to those who came out and cheered us on. I assure you those cheers did not fall on deaf ears. Congrats to everyone who competed and to those who are moving on to regionals.

QOD: I feel wrecked. Much worse than the garage games so I am planning on taking a week off and making sure that I have fully recovered before jumping back into training. After this week my training schedule will be focused around our athletes who are moving on to regionals. Many of them have to work out on their own and without anyone else in the gym. If you have ever had to do this then you know it is not fun. So when I can I will be trying to push them to the best of my ability.

Aaron,
Weightlifting shoes are a total NECESSITY for the serious CF athlete. As far as one brand over another. I have no opinion. I’ve only owned one pair.

Get em!
