ouch

Another 100 pullups?

...............damn it

seriously more pullups.. haha my hands are thrashed!
oh well. 3-2-1 go!

anyone know the method behind this pullup programming?
doesnt seem intelligent

WOW! That's all I can say! I had the priviledge of attending the Level 1 Cert at my home affiliate (FT. Meade) this weekend. That was the most amazing 2 days I've had in a long time. Pat, Boz, Joe, Jen, Rudy, Casey, Steve and all the other trainers that taught this weekend were phenomonal! I learned so much from this cert. I just wanted to let you know that the training was top notch, they were all knowledgeable and extremely helpful, and HILARIOUS! Loved every minute! Thank you!

TO THOSE WHO ARE SCARED OF PULL-UPS

If you have sore arms and lats, it's okay to SCALE this one. I'll give you some options:

1. Only do 50 pull-ups
2. Cut the pull-ups out completely and do 100 Cals on the C2 rower instead
3. Sub Ring Rows or Bent-Over Rows for a different angle
4. Check out the BrandX site

I hope everyone enjoyed their rest day! :)

I'm so glad that we have this chance to work on our pull-ups! Increased work capacity in a single movement for the win!

Suck it up. Just do it.

Dang Coach, more pull ups?

Let's go hard FRAT, Affiliate Cup training starts tomorrow.

Never Quit!

Knee tendonitits in both knees playing silly buggers with me at the moment so no lower body stuff at all.

5 x 10kg weighted muscleups - 52 seconds

Good advice Herm

Eric Gohl is a beast.

Hey, congrats to all those who went to the certs.

Anyway, I will be in Key West in a week and am wondering if there are any Crossfit gyms or Crossfitters I can train with while I am there. I know Certs. have been held in Key West so there has to be something going on down there.

Would love to train at least for at least one day while I am in the Keys.

Thanks, Ed.

AMAZING weekend at the Key West level 1 cert! Chuck, Justin and Jenn, it was great to meet you guys. Thank you for all of the great help and instruction.

I've been waiting for this for a while now ... last time did the pull-ups at my in-laws on the jungle gym ... they were insaine on the monkey bars!

Question on Angie? Can you split this WOD up or does it have to be 100 of each in a row? Was thinking of breaking this down into 10's of each for 10 rounds. I think I have split this up in the past for scaling reasons. Not sure my shoulder can take 100 PU in a row.

ha ha ha! I was coming in from a walk and was thinking of what wod I wanted to see and which wod I did not want to see.

The one I wanted: Mr. Joshua

The one I didn't: Angie!

...oh well, what's another 100 pullups anyways?

Mind over matter. 3,2,1,go!

Cheers, Dan M.

Ronnieboy, if you're in charge of your own schedule, why not do Mr. Joshua? It's a great idea if you aren't in the mood for all those pull-ups, and if you like gambling that high rep heavy deadlifts won't come up tomorrow! :)

Comment #18 - Posted by: Jordan Wright

That's another good method of scaling: 10 rounds of 10. If you do it, annotate it as such and then you can compare it to all 100 in a row next time!

LMAO!!!My 17 year old wants to start doing the WODS with me starting tommorrow...Pukie and kyle are gonna be close friends I just know it. Now if only I could get the wife to try the Kool-aid as well. She says she doesnt wanna get big like I have been off of this workout...(doesnt she see how hot chicks like Gillian are?)Just wait, when I come back from basic she'll start with me (so she says now)

Oh yeah also missed this the last time with cracked ribs(had to check my journal)cant wait to see how long this takes me,pullups are gonna suck though.

Quick question...does everyone keep a journal or is it just the die-hards?

Just finished the Level I cert at Rainier Crossfit and must say that it exceeded all my expectations. Thanks to Todd, Curtis, Stephen, Drew, Nadia, Lisa and the whole team for a fabulous weekend with a special appearance by Dave Castro and Nichol Carrol. Great instruction, activity, and fellowship. I learned a lot especially in areas I personally need to improve in, and look forward to being able to train others. After 40 years as I physician, I feel my career has been in "sick care", my hobby is health care--and Crossfit IS Healthcare!! Will done.

Not too concerned with the pullups, no one else has sore abs from those L pullups yesterday? These will be a tough 100 situps

at #26

Yeah my abs really hurt from the L pullups too, hopefully they'll be better by tomorrow for angie

I just returned from the Level 1 certification at Ranier Crossfit. Thanks to Todd, Steph, Andrew, Lisa, Nadia, and all of the amazing trainers. I was thoroughly impressed by their knowledge and professionalism. It was great to meet Nicole and Dave Castro as well. Ranier Crossfit is a fantastic box. I look forward to hitting some WODs with my improved skills.

YES! LET THE DOMINATION BEGIN!

Herm- Eric Gohl IS a beast LOL I was just going over my journal (yes J-Bird, I've got one too) and saw that, among some other good one-liners and assorted memories from the Games.

more FRAT-a-tat-tat:
-Playoff Beard's Party Bus (with Dave Castro and Tony Budding crashing for food/ beer)
-showing Nelson how to shotgun beer (apparently Animal House is not big in Ecuador)
-Corey Bibolet "are you s'more?....are YOU s'more?"
-Franiel yelling at Brock Lesnor on the jumbotron "your workout is OUR warm up!"

aaaah. Aromas 2010... Keep working that clean, Beard :)

in8girl- killer eva time. You ARE planning to meet up with us at the Games in july, right? ;) Rookie & s'more- you too! start planning NOW.

Should we be doing kipping pull-ups or regular pull-ups for big timed sets like these?

Jen n Joes gym Open for buisness (or at least some personal torture) I Attended Level 1 at North Santa Cruz about a month ago. The instructor AMAZING and now given the beleif I can accomplish so much more convinced me to spend the cash and outfit my garage. $1500 later (thanks again faster) we have enough to do most of the current wods here in a 20X20 garage.
I am short of 1 pull up bar and isnt this a bad time to be missing that. the wife and I have substituted double push ups for pull ups for the last 2 wods, but tomorrow I definitely will go back to Globo and do the rx wod.

This shit works. I have given/programed these workouts to my students (fire cadets) and they hate it/love it. I have tried to keep hitting every wourkout that has been programed. Core work is where true strength is. Anyone can work out on thier back. real strength is what you do while standing up (credit to josh everett).

I want to keep rambleing but Thanks for the forum and tomorrow will be fun.

Thanks

Excited to do another WOD in the fledgling garage gym.

and oh yeah FRAT like Beard said- kill Angie tomorrow.

For everyone that are talking about Pull-UPs, Man up!!(LOL!), You can do more. don't let the little voice get to your mind, it is just 100 of each, I am still sore from Eva and the workout afterwards, but thanks to that rest day. BANG! I am beating my own PR on this one, I feel stronger and faster everyday because I know I am pushing myself to my limit, Goal is to complete Angie in less than 14 minutes, or beat my PR or 16:10 either way will be happy. :)

You can rest when you done.

Santi!

I spent the weekend in Ft.Meade, MD getting my Level 1 Cert. I was completely impressed with all of the CrossFit trainers there - Pat, Boz, Jeff, Joe, Dennis, Jenn, Casey and the other guys. They were awesome speakers - filled with knowledge, completely professional and they kept us laughing the whole time. Thanks for a GREAT WEEKEND!
Hope to see you soon at CrossFit Obsession ! :-)

Had the great privilege of attending the level 1 cert this weekend at Rainier CF. Thanks to Curtis, Todd, Stephen, Drew, Nadia, Lisa and all of the other trainers. Great instruction, great motivation and a couple great workouts. I met a lot of extremely motivated people who all have a passion for CF. Was awesome to meet Dave Castro and Nicole, thanks to those two for answering all of our questions.

Also attended the barbell cert last weekend at CF Eastside, that was awesome too. Special thanks to Todd, you are a great trainer and it's good to have you up here in the Pacific Northwest!

Overall a great 2 weekends. Thank you CF!

Just got home from the CF Nutrition seminar in Atlanta. Great information and I'm so glad I went. Maybe it'll help me break into 10-min territory for Angie!

It was great meeting everyone, and Robb was awesome. Lunch wasn't bad either.

#22 about the journal. I have kept a record of every workout I and my trainees have done since my first WOD. It has been priceless. It helps motivate us to beat our old times and weights on EVERYTHING. And it really comes in handy when I get a frustrated or discouraged trainee. I can go back and show them when it took 29 minutes to complete Fran three months before they did it in 10.
Highly recommended for all. Even the less hardcore.

Thank you to the great trainers and Rainer Crossfit for the level 1 cert. Awesome knowledge presented in a understandable, precise, effective way. Looking forward to an amazing journey ahead. Bonus thank you for being the beta for the test and Castro and Nicole braving the crappy n.w. weather.

i was just talking about this to two of my army guys (well an officer and another instructor on a basic military course). just didn't remember the name, but knew the workload

i just want to say thanks again to all the staff that taught at the Rainier CrossFit level one it was a great weekend

As sore as I am and as much as this seems like its going to suck......I cant wait to get into the gym to burn off my aggression of seeing the Pats lose to the Colts.....Angie is mine!

I feel like it was just yesterday when I last did this WOD.

It's going to hurt.

Can't wait to hang with Rhabdo.

Great level 1 cert at Rainier Crossfit. The instruction, organization, professionalism, knowledge and humor were top drawer. It was 70s big without bulk. Well done!

Awesome weekend attending the LvL I cert in Key West! Thanks Chuck, Jenni, and Justin. I am addicted! Judging from the photos, looks like we definitely had the location advantage. Loved the outdoor instruction and workouts. Looking forward to meeting some of the affiliates in the DC/VA/B-more area this week before heading back to Tokyo and spreading the word to all my friends.
Was Chuck teleporting to Fort Meade when he wasn't lecturing or does he have a twin that also likes working out in CT high tops?

Thanks to all the trainers with us at Rainier Crossfit for turning my BIG brother into a Fat-Burning-Machine! I enjoyed the depth and breadth of the information along with the humor. Keep up the great work!

for those talking about tears in the hands:

1) sometimes it is unavoidable
2) most of the times it's due to a wrong grip (as was with my case for a long time before i saw this video)

check out this crossfit video for grip corrections. also, you can expect a significant strengthening of the forearm if you learn to use this grip.

#50, I second that. I haven't ripped since I watched that video. My pullups went down a little until my grip strength compensated for the change, but I'm back up and over my old PR. It's worth it.

#22, keeping a journal really helps your motivation. In fact, once you see how fast you're improving, you might get addicted like some of the rest of us. I keep my journal in a Word document, it only takes a few seconds to enter my times/weights, and it's searchable.

#31, kipping pullups accomplish more work in less time, so they'll give you the best time on this workout. The kipping pullup is the default CrossFit pullup; variations (like strict or L pullups) will be specified.

Speaking of kipping pullups, does anyone know who invented the butterfly pullup? Was it Brett Marshall (AFT)?

First time - 19.40 and the squats sucked, I thought they would be the easiest!

Questions-
Are there going to be anymore Barbell Certs?
Are they being replaced with Power Lifting Certs?

If so, is Crossfit switching to the stance that a shorter range of motion with more weight is better to increase work capacity?

Can’t tell you how much I didn’t want to do this one today. Bodyweight WODs are one of my GOATS. Anyway; felt like I was going to take about 22 minutes today. I had that in my head before I even started.

First set of pull-ups was only 25 (5 less than last time), then 5, then 3’s for the rest. I just told myself that if I was only going to get 3 at a time, I better not rest AT ALL. Somehow, that allowed me to finish the pull-ups in 6:25, which is about a 30 second PR.

Push-ups were 2 at a time; again, less than usual, but I didn’t let myself rest for more than a breath between sets. Sit-ups and squats were similar to last time; no better, no worse.

As Rx’d
18:12 PR (1:25 faster than last time)

Overall, quite surprised with the PR, both because of the volume of pull-ups recently as well as the fact we just did Angie six weeks ago.

Pony was torn between working out this morning and trying not to wake me up (until the gym is done the pull-up bar is in the bedroom doorway). She resolved the conflict by setting her alarm to go off every five minutes and staying in bed until I finally got up. She then informed me that I was working out, just as soon as she was done with the pull-up bar. I informed her I had read an article somewhere that working out will make you sweat, so maybe I should skip it. No dice.

Nice WOD...28:00, lousy shaking pull-up rack, slowed me down.

Not related to the workout but just read this article, this guy had to be a crossfitter haha

"We sought the advice of a former Virginia State Trooper, now retired and working happily at an intelligence analyst job for a federal agency in Washington, D.C. He told this story..."

"One serious but amusing tale involved a driver who was "power-braking" his pick up truck outside a raucous Springfield, VA bar at 3:00 a.m. He was extravagantly spinning and screeching his tires "and just filling the air with blue smoke and burning rubber," recalls the police officer. "And he's doing it right in front of me at a traffic light. So I pulled him over, and he was clearly intoxicated, but he wasn't belligerent or anything -- he was a nice guy, an 'ol' country boy. But he failed every field-sobriety test I gave him." This included a breathalyzer test, which revealed that he had a .18 blood alcohol level, more than double the legal limit for driving.

But the guy kept insisting that he be allowed to perform "his own test" which he claimed would prove he was not drunk. So finally, just out of curiosity, the police officer acquiesced -- with no guarantees. "So the guy takes off running, and all of a sudden he goes into this cartwheel/back flip, with his cowboy boots on, and his legs go counter-clockwise, and he lands it, perfectly, in his cowboy boots, like he was a gymnast at the Olympics or something."

Angie was my second ever crossfit work out ever in Sept this year my time was 2 hours and 3 min. This time 27m 20s with 63 pull ups before going to jumping. Huge improvement. Crossfit produces great results.

Question on this one.
Can I divide the 100s as I want, like (10*4)*10. Or do I have to do them in order, 100+100+100+100?

As rxd. 14.47

Great workout as always :) 26 minutes asa Rx'd, not bad for an old guy!

Quick question: My wife has just began doing crossfit with me, and faced with "Angie," her surprisingly obvious question was, "Why 100 reps?" More to the point: Why the specific number 100 for each exercise? Why not 75, or 125? This goes more to the programming theory and logic behind it. My answer was simply that 100 reps represented a good target number for a high volume workout. Being the intelligent and inquisitive person she is, my answer was insufficient. Any thoughts?

Thanks folks.

Beat prior Angie by 6 minutes and increased unassisted PUs by 10 to 30, jumped the other 20. Kipping technique is along very well. Wish DUs were doing as well.

Used an Ab Mat for the first time and it makes a huge difference. I used to feel a burn in the lower back and quads and with the Ab Mat all the burn is concentrated in the abs.

Will bump up the scale to 75 each next date with Angie.

I was at the Level 1 Cert this weekend at FORT MEADE, MD. It was freakin' outstanding. The trainers are extremely knowledgable both from an academic standpoint (they can geek-out pretty damn well), as well as a practical, hands-on standpoint. And it was A BLAST - not dry like some other settings. Great job everyone! Hopefully will run into you all sometime later down the road.

As RX'd in 20:31. Pull ups kicked my butt.

As RX'd 9:28. Does anyone know what the top times for Angie are? I took pretty much no rest between excercises and did the the pullups in 4 minutes, Pushups in 1:30, Situps in 1:50 and Squats in about 1:28. I felt like this was a good time and I was curious if anyone could provide me any info on what the top times are. Thanks.

If you've never worked with them before, I'd safely say that most people's sorest spots from pull-ups will be forearms, so you're not alone... one thing you can do to help battle the soreness would be to maybe switch grips? Go between chin ups and pull ups (palms facing you, palms away from you) on your sets until your grip gets stronger.

Also, shoulder felxibility is a big factor. Your shoulders may not be loose enough for the hang at the bottom-- we helped a lady out at my gym who couldn't get her pull ups done very well and diagnosed her with this issue. She started working on lots of shoulder rotation with the pvc and has been seeing massive improvements. Good luck!

18:09 pr

Whoo! Killed this WOD! I took an extra much needed rest day and felt totally fresh.

A little strategy goes a long way on this type of workout. By not ever going near failure, I beat my PR by about 5 minutes. I broke the 100 pullups into sets of 10 butterflies with a little less than 10 seconds rest in between. The last set I finished with 20 unbroken. Push-ups were broken into 5 sets of 20 with about the same rest periods. Surprisingly, sit-ups were the hardest. I did sets of 15 or so with about 3 seconds to catch my breath. I just tried to get the squats done as fast as possible.

AS RX'D: 9:23.

sub 50 PU but the rest as Rx'd. Time 28:00.

Raph #205, Your chaplain's not 100% correct. The AF never endorsed CF and they never will. CF is a commercial enterprise, and as such, the AF (as a Federal entity) cannot legally endorse them. However, CF gyms are popping up all over the AF as a result of inspirsed senior leadership that knows the difference between "fitness" and push-up, sit-up, run, lather, rinse, repeat. I personally know of at least 2 AFB boxes that have opened up in the last 3 months, and if you watch the Monday moto pics, you'll frequently see pics of Level I certs held on AF bases. However, there are still a few of the "old school" fitness center directors out there that will fight the method ... you just need to be more persistent than them. Trust me, my friend, CF is alive and well in our AF and is here to stay!

So I feel like I just did Angie (9/26), and we just had an Angie-like WOD a couple of weeks ago, and then a not-too-dissimilar one last week with Cindy. So I decided to jump off main site programming for today, and do a WOD I have been wanting to do for awhile:

"Linda"

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:

Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight
Bench press: body weight
Clean: 3/4 body weight

Set up three bars and storm through for time.

Body weight today = 170. So I did DL 255, BP 170, Clean 130. Full squat cleans. I set up 3 bars w/ the rx'd weights at the gym, and was fortunate that nobody tried to "work in" on any of them.

As rx'd, 25:14. Brutal. This WOD tore me up big time. I was surprised how quickly it got difficult! I was drenched by round 2, bleeding by round 3 (grazed my leg on a DL). Happy with the time, but I was a mess after this - arms, shoulders, and entire posterior chain were just shredded. Amazingly, bench was my strong point - unbroken through all rounds.

Back from my biz trip, tried to make up Eva, got 4 rounds in 28 minutes. Right on the schedule I set for myself, but I was hitting a wall. Next time she comes around, the plan is to try the same pace but hopefully last longer.

Buy-in: 2 rounds DU practice, handstand, scaled HSPUs, 1-arm db swings, OHS, bar MUs.

@ 213 John,

I think, could be wrong here, the general advice is to avoid machines, even the assisted pull-up machine.

Preferred subs are either jumping pull-ups OR use resistance bands.

Wow, I knew I loved Crossfit, mostly because I love how intense it is. I love to push myself to my limits regularly. However, I have only been doing Crossfit since September and so have not had too many repeats on workouts. Well, a couple weeks ago I bested my time on 'Annie' by 8:16. I thought that was pretty good. Today was a whole different animal. Angie was 1:13:32 on 9/28, and today I did it in 43:52. That is a 29:40 improvement. Holy sh**! Thank you Crossfit!

as rx'd 29:55. took me 17:30 for the pullups alone, did them kipping for the first time. couldnt get the timing down on pushing the bar away and as a result had to swing twice each time. what really wore me out tho was the gym has this stupid thick grip on the bar and it has a slight downward angle on the outside so my grip was wearing out before my arms were.

17:53

i finished everything but the pull-ups in 18:00. about 30:00 with only 30 pull-ups added (assisted). anyone have any suggestions on how to really improve my pull-ups, except just doing more of them? i've been working on them but i just can't get past like 5 unassisted pull-ups.

I am mad! starting with the pull ups I broke my own PR by a lot, I mean finished the Pull-ups in about 3:36 or 3:26, first 50 all in a row, non stop quick, the rest of the pull-ups I broke them down to do 5 pull ups taking a 3-5 seconds rest, all the way until 100, the form wasn't the greatest in my last 15 pull ups. but I was still able to go all the way down and chin pass the bar, well! when I began the push- did 50 in a row. check my watch and guess what! I hit my stop button with the back of my hand!, the time stopped, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! my motivation went down and the little voice was laughing at me! however I let the watch continue, the other 50 push-ups did them all in row, everything else as Rx but I don't have an honest real time! I probably would have broken my PR for about 5 minutes, from last time that I did Angie for about 5 or 6 minutes, I am happy because my final time would have being closed to 10 minutes maybe in the middle of the ten minutes, but I am mad at my watch! because I actually don't have a real time, bottom line lesson learn DONT WEAR A WATCH IF YOU ARE DOING AN EXCERSICE IN THE SAME AREA, INSTEAD, HANG THE WATCH, START THE TIME, MAKE SURE THE WATCH STARTED AND KEEP GOING, or maybe have someone else with you that is timing his time too.

17:55 Angie - but I couldn't do a single sit-up. I laid there for about a minute trying. The pull-ups and push-ups were not as bad as the running, and the squats were fine, but the sit-ups were impossible.
Then I rested and tried to run again, but I only made it about 200M before I had to stop and walk.

Have to run a PFA tomorrow, so I wanted to keep my legs unsore. Pull-ups were really tough, sit-ups were not as hard as usual.

33:30, pretty disappointed. i don't think it's a PR but gotta check my records. last time i did this Rxed was last december, before i could kip. now i can, so the pullup portion was a definite PR but by less than it should have been bc hands are pretty wrecked from the last few days. more disappointing though was the push ups, sit ups, and squats. did not PR in any of those. situps because of the L pullups workout, which I did yesterday. done mostly in 10s, usually i can do them as two sets of 50. squats were more broken than usual too (usually 2 x 50). oh well, at least the pullups improved. next time will be better.........

Been in transition for the last 3 months with moves, jobs, etc. Been doing body weight wod's on my own and some off here after following the WOD strict for over a year. Amazed at the results I have had by only doing a WOD 3 to 4 times a week instead of 6 and resting in between. I am sure my lifts have went down in numbers by not concentrating on them, but times and reps of body weight WODs have soared. Just did this WOD as Rx'd in 14:34....compared to 4 months ago at 18 minutes. Just had to share that.

The cert at Rainier CrossFit was amazing!

The passion and professionalism of the staff was a potent combination!

Thank you Todd, Drew, Stephane, Lisa, Nadia, Dan, and Dan.

Todd, you asked for constructive criticism. The two days were about as good an introduction to everything CrossFit as can be imagined. If I had to pick nits, I would possibly omit the section on the GHD. Lisa and Nadia did a great job on that, but it doesn't seem like a device used in a lot of workouts and isn't common in the gyms I've been in. Perhaps that time could be used to expand the time available to the "snatch, double-under, kipping pull-up, and muscle-up break-outs". Or that time could go to points of performance and common faults on the C2 rower. Or given the ropes up in the rafters at RCF, maybe a segment on various rope-climbing technique.

But I'm grasping at straws. The "What is CrossFit?", "What is Fitness?", the programming, the nutrition, and the 9 movements lectures were incredible.

Special thanks to Rainier CrossFit and the Bowlers for hosting.

Few things I've noticed since starting CF is the amount of energy I have throughout the day. It's only been two weeks since I've started and I'm amazed. My last tour of duty I saw a bunch of guys doing this and I was a total Negative Nancy about it, and this time around one of the guys here got me into it. So far I'm loving it, I never thought it would as much fun as it truly is. I'm certainly glad I've started and everyday I look forward to the "punishment" the WOD brings. Something I would have never said not too long ago... Before this I was just doing lifting and it bored me to death, I'm just glad I tried something new and look forward to the next time around to see what improvements I have made...

Just finished the level 1 cert in Fort Meade, it was a great time. I have been doing crossfit for over a year now and have a pretty good understanding of how to program WODs and what to look for in proper and improper form but the cert helped me with fine tuning my form and really gave me a better idea of what i was doing wrong with my nutrition and programming. Was a great weekend and want to thank all the trainers who helped out and good luck to all of the other cross fitters who completed their cert. take what you have learned and share your knowledge with others. That is the best way to be sure that this program and sport will continue to grow.

Hangover punishment, 24:30.

Cheated by starting on the other movements when my pull-ups were taking too damned long.

Actually, I set 2 PRs this time. My old PR for max one set of pullups was 39 and I got 45 today. I might have been able to eek out 50, but since I was on the clock and there were plenty more reps to do, I figured I'd stop before my hands ripped.

I love Angie...and her twisted sister we saw on Halloween.

hmmm... i've done all my pull ups on a flat bar since starting crossfit back in july- i know pull ups at the playground with kids always seems easier, but never really thought about it that much... good to know.

8+ minutes for the pullups. That's the time suck.

pu's 1st 45 regular, last 55 jumping pu's on monkey bars.
the rest as rx'd. 26.30

As rx'd, 16:59 (PR).

Surprised by this - maybe extra rest days helped. Pullups were a little slower than last time (6:00) - I tried to do 20 every minute, but struggled a lot near the end. Pushups went faster (5:00), situps were the same (4:00), and I was able to push through faster on squats (2:00).

I've now done 4 Angies, 3 of them here in Salt Lake - weird. Next time I do this, I'm going to try pullups and pushups Tabata style - think this may yield faster times.
