Jim vs. Lynne & Rowing

There are two ways to scale Lynne down to the Pack level: lower the bench press weight and do the full five rounds, or do your body weight and only do three rounds. I took the latter route today for the first time, throwing 175 lbs onto the bar. (I weighed in at 176.8 this morning, so I suppose I cheated myself out of those 1.8 pounds. I’ll live with it.)

“Lynne”
Three rounds of:
Max body weight bench press
Max pull-ups

Results:
1 –  7/8
2 – 3/7
3 – 2/5

My muscles were feeling pretty tired after that, but I still wanted to do something solid for a cash-out. So I went upstairs and did a 2k row, which took me 9:29. After that, I felt well and truly done for the day.
