Opens Workout 15.2 (second attempt)
My last attempt was 172, a huge improvement from last year and a score that I felt very good about for about 24 hours, After that, my competitive juices kicked in and I was determined to post a higher score than some of my training partners as well as some of the guys in the Masters division I'm competing against.
I re-did this workout against my better judgment which told me that the tank was just about empty the first time around, plus the fact that my hands were pretty beat up and might not hold up real well through another onslaught of 80+ CTB Pull-Ups.
Well, I did re-do the workout and I crashed and burned in the round of 14 just like last year. My grip was toast going into the round and I had a lot of difficulty just stringing reps together. The OHS's on the other hand felt great. This was all about my lack of ability with BF CTB Pull-Ups. Didn't help that I wore grips to preserve my palms. The grips did their job as far as saving my skin but hanging on to the pull-up bar was wayy more taxing.
Don't even know what score I ended up with and it really doesn't matter. I knew it was over when I saw that I had just a minute left going into last round of pull-ups.
This was just a really humbling, demoralizing experience. Starting to doubt whether I will ever have a real shot to make the Games.....just way too many weaknesses.
