if it doesnt hurt if you are a little wider than do that. if it does some skull crushers or tricep pushdowns work too.

I did them up on my knuckles and it was fine. I don't know what's up with my wrist but extension has been hurting like a bitch for a little over a month now. Any suggestions?

Yea I had been dreading it all workout, and it did suck. That was a pretty tough workout; I wasn’t speed walking for the 30min recovery haha

Oh I went for the walk it was just a slow sad walk of someone who burned all their energy instead of an up tempo carefree jaunt

Good luck fellas. Can’t participate this year because I’m traveling over the next few weeks but I got the banners up from the previous two years. Enjoy it! I’ll be back with you all next year.

Almost injured something warming up on bench. Some damn reason I put 2 tens on one side instead of on my weight tree. Almost threw me off the bench.

Day 3 has been posted. Back squats are as many sets of 2 @ 80% in a 10 minute window. That's going to be interesting.

I'll be hauling arse home after work ready to get going!

I've never done snatch grip deadlift before. Little curious about that.

Yeah, that wide grip and dropping down to 45-50% makes me think I'm in for a real treat.

I don't even try to "man up" on those. I use straps. My grip def fails way before my legs/back. Plus they hurt my wrists.

how many rounds talk get on the “cardio?” I got 8

Day 1 Cardio I go t 7 rounds. I respectfully disagree about which was harder though, the wall sits were killing me, lol.

Day 2 is complete. Transitioning back to early morning training after 2+ months of training in the evening. The squat sets of 2 for 10 minutes was much more intimidating on paper than in actuality. I went every 45 seconds and got 13 sets.

Snatch Grip Deads for 10 reps -- when I saw the Day posted I thought this was weak for the cardio. It was not.
