Fridays WOD

"Angie"

For time:
100 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats

This one is an old favorite of mine. I PR'ed last time at 17:32 which was only 8 seconds faster than my time before that. I think the failure that time was I went all out on the pull ups and completed close to 40 using the butterfly in about a minute or so. I soon fell apart after that. I completed the pull ups in about just under 5 minutes. This time I took a different approach and did a tabata style butterfly kip. I completed the 100 pull ups in 4 minutes even. Now the rest of the WOD went as usual push ups are hard, and the sit ups just eat up a lot of time. Now the squats without the use of a med ball is a whole new ball game, (no pun intended.)
Anyhow I do not use a med ball for my squats anymore and it adds a difficulty to the squats. There is nothing to drop onto now and I have nothing to help me back up with a bounce, its all legs and hips and after suffering through the 100 squats this way, I think that's the way it should be. so Angie as RX'ed 17:13 a new PR.
