Bodyweight = 165lbs.
Bench Press - 69 reps
Pullups - 84 reps
20 minutes (about 45 sec. rest between cycles)
I did an upper body workout yesterday, which included a pretty nasty set of DB incline press. Chest was pretty wiped out this morning...
BW = 170
Bench Press - 70 reps
Ring Pullups - 98 reps
Partioned this into 14 sets of 5 BP and 7 PU with a brief rest after PUs.
Inspired by Kelly, did "Diane" today. But couldn't approach her time; mine was 16.10. Still a great benchmark workout.
Sub'd ring dips for BP because I don't have a bench. I had to stop and get out of the way for the guys doing yard work at 15:00. By then, I had 40 ring pullups and 35 ring dips. I finished the last 5 minutes with 95 lb bb press and got 15.
Also substituted the rings for the Bench Press managing 112 reps.
Pull ups - 86
finished with 5 rounds of:
10 Burpees
10 1 pood KB swings
10 Kb snatches
60 secs rest
Bodyweight = 160-165, used 135# for Bench Press (weak)
Bench Press - 23
Pull-ups - 85
BW:185
i was doing somekind of SEAL PT, i haven't pressed for more than a year.
BP:52
Pull-up:81
BW 200
BP 205 x 46
PU 65
Did sets of 5 BP/ 5 PU. Could not maintain 5 reps of BP throughout. PU were easy. Probably should have done sets of 8 - 10 for PU.
Bodyweight = 216lbs
Bench Press (185lbs) = 70 reps
Pull-ups = 66
Jim
Nice job, fish!Looks brutal.
BW 200#. Used 205 for the BP reps.
43 BP reps.
81 pull-ups.
Many sets, with minimal reps per. Didn't rest. May try more rest next time and attempt more reps per cycle.
Finished with 2x50 BW squats and 200 abs.
Thompson
Started out with sets of 5 BPs and 7 PUs. Both numbers diminished (BP faster than PU). Last sets were 1 BP and 4 PU. Did dead hangs for this workout. 'Small' discrepancy between pushing and pulling movements on this one. Maybe I should have done ring dips?
76 pull-ups
28 bench press
BW 175#
21 BP
104 pullups
Bench weak but improving. 1st attempt at BW bench in many years, started with doubles but quickly went to singles.
45 bench press @ 100 lbs
36 pullups, a new pr
I tried to stay at sets of 3 reps. Pullups went away but still got a PR!
85 BP's, 105 pullups, Bodyweight 150; started with sets of 10 on the bench and then went to 7+3 and started with 2 sets of 15 on the pus and then went to sets of 10 with no breaks on the pus and got 15 on the last round.Learned from our last similar workout to use some pacing and not burnout on one effort to the detriment of the other exercise.
42 bp @ 100 pounds
31 pull-ups
BW = 215 lbs
BP = 42
PU = 43
BW = 165
Bench @ 165- 82
Pullups- 110
Stared a miniset on the 2 min mark each time, then just did as many as I could the last 2.5 min.
BW=125
Bench 70# = 65
Pullups = 41
unassisted pullups, i'm happy. need to work on increasing bench strength.
How many reps in 20 minutes of:
Bench press 165# (87% bwt of 190#)= 46reps
Pull-ups= 101reps
Got to do this WOD on our new BFS heavy duty super cage at our company gym! The 8.5ft pullup bar is great - rings going up on it soon for dips, ect...
Ended the bench still doing sets of 3, don't think I could have gone the whole 20min with bwt. Pullups were in sets of 10 thru 50 and then 7,3 with brief regrips each round.
Ended with 50 body squats and 50 unanchored sit-ups.
BW=168#
BP 165=46
PU(bar)=85
Not feeling too Aggressive. Lots of climbing days lately.
used 2 - 85# dumbbells for BP.
BW = 170
BP @ 170# = 57 (DBs got really shaky on late rounds)
Pullups = 75
followed up with yesterday's snatch wod.
took it easy due to fatigue and lack of practice.
situps 75
squat snatch 5x45/5x65/5x85/5x95/5x115/5x125/5x115

I used 115 lbs for the bench press.

I also did 3 sets of overhead press, 3 sets of crunches, and 8 minutes of the step mill machine.

I am almost ashamed to post these small numbers.

3.5 mi PT run this afternoon.
Great Job Lynne! How did you partition the sets, reps rests and did you have a pacing scheme?
Afetr a week in Santa Barbara climbing tree's, my weight is around 165lbs; therefore,
Bench = 60
Pull up= 103
Nothing beats climbing a 120' Eucalyptus along the coast on a foggy morning, well, maybe climbing in the Grand Canyon!

Didn't have access to bench press, so subbed pushups instead. I alternated max sets of each exercise, and totaled the numbers at the end.
pushups = 109
pullups = 38
100 pull-ups
35 reps bench
175 bodyweight
My pressing ability as a lot of room for improvement, obviously.
BWT - 180
Used 185 lbs for bench.
Bench - 57
Pull-up - 85
Fun workout
John, Bwt=190lbs, bp=50 of 195 lbs, pull ups=56
Did a ladder of aprox 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3 and ran out of time and energy.
Chris can't do body weight bench or many regular pull-ups. He did bp 67 of 55lbs, pull downs 67 of 90 lbs.
Great numbers Lynne!
BW 190#s
Never been able to bench my bw.
27 reps at 145#s
27 p/u
Ed, I did 5/5 on the minute; got a bit ahead of the pace so managed to get 21 sets. I threw in a set of 6 early on, thinking I might try to keep that up, but decided that would be risky. Last set only got 4 on the bench; could have gotten the 5th but it would have cost me time I needed for the last set of pullups.
I also considered doing a max set of each first, and then hitting 3/3 or so, but went the conservative route.
Thanks John!
No bench so did push ups with a pack weighted with 10kg instead. Did it as a downwards ladder going ten push ups/ten pull ups then nine/nine eight/eight down to zero. Just finished within the 20 mins. My maths is not good enough to work out my totals.
If anyone else hasn't got a bench I recommend push ups with a weighted backpack instead.
Not even close to my bw (189).
10 reps @140
3 reps @ 140
3 reps @ 140
8 reps @ 120

Lynne, thanks for the info. I think I'll try your lower rep scheme next time we visit this particular WOD.
BW 164
had access to Nautlis BP: set to 160 for 1st 3 sets - set to 150 for remaining 5

clint
Never been big on the bp. Did this late last night with about 5 people in the gym (scared a couple of them off when they saw I was going non-stop). BW-205
BP 155# (76%)- 45 reps
PU unassisted- 50 reps
Good wod for me as these are my weakest areas.
Rotated sets of 5 until time ran out. Next time I'm taking a spotter to go heavier on the BP!
BW=230
Bench= 71 @ 230
Pulups= 91
Broke into 5 and 5's then tapered of to 2 bench three P/U's. Kept rest in between down to less than 15 sec. in the beg. then towards the end less than 5 sec. to compinsate for the lower reps
Eddie
43 pullups
19 weighted pushups (50lb plate on shoulders to approx bodyweight bench of 195lbs)
Stephen
Been doing WOD for 3 wks - first post.
BW = 145
Bench = 98
Pullups = 99
So wanted to join the "century club" but not this time.
Used Lynne's strategy 5/5 but last few were 3+2 on BP and 4+1 on PU.
Are there any Crossfit affiliates up here in Canada?
First WOD since coming back from the colored pencil workshop this week. I tried Lynne's strategy of 5/5, but my bench is weaker than Lynne's:
8 rounds 5B/5P
10 rounds 3/5
8 rounds 3/6
Bench 115#, bwt 116# (lost a couple pounds during vacation)
Total: 94 benches/138 pullups
Bench press @ 180#: 5, 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 4, 4, 3, 4 : total 37
chin-ups : 5, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3, 5, 5, 4, 4 : total 44
a 1 minute break halfway through helped me get back to 5 chin-ups.
Bw: 160
Bp: 57 (3-5 reps)
Pu: 115 (7-10 reps)
Haven't seriously benched in over 8 months... Need to get stronger.
BW: 205
Bench Press 50
Pull Ups 68
