Opening Bookend: DNC, got about 17 or so situps on the last set when time was called (honestly, I don't remember exactly, because I stubbornly finished the set of 25, even if it was over time). 135 lbs on the deadlifts, jumping pullups, jump ropes with the rope alongside (otherwise I trip a lot). I think I might've finished, if I hadn't taken breaks during the first two sets of jump ropes (I'd do 100 and then take a breather before doing the last 50), which I stopped doing on set 3.

Books: 75 lbs. Probably could've gone heavier here, but at least it meant I wasn't completely drained for the final gamut.

Closing Bookend: Same weights and mods, 17:31. Glad I was able to make up for not finishing the first one in time.

Felt good to use emotion productively. I was able to use the anger as a motivator, but didn't let myself wallow in it, which is ultimately self-defeating.

Really glad I came tonight. Looking forward to next week.

Chapter 1: 22 minutes (over time limit)

235lbs deadlifts (not easy for me)

pullups were usually kip then to jump pullups

rope and situps could basically do forever...

Chapter 2: 115lbs - left shoulder has been hurting the last couple of days probably attempting HSPU so this wasn't very pleasant but I got through it.

Chapter 3: Had to drop down to 205lbs and finished 1 round then dropped down again to 165lbs and finished another round the start of round 3 couldn't do any more deadlifts so Steve made me do 15 pullups, 200 jump ropes and 50 situps for remainder. Finished 2 rounds of that.

Def very hard and I still have to work on strengthening my deadlift. Will continue to practice.

Thanks again guys for an amazing night!

Have a great weekend!

P.S. I'm gonna cut Jess next time I see her to make sure she can bleed and is human... she might be the terminator.

Sorry I missd it guys.
I know it's last minute, but if anyone is interested, I just found out that I'm competing at 1pm. It also doesn't look like they're being strict about admission, so you can probably just walk in. Jackie O high scool on W46th st off times square.
