Could there be anything worse than doing "The Chief" in 92 degree weather with 97.4% humidity? Ugh. The strength work yesterday was single rep max clean, and there were a LOT of PR's. Les, Kirsten, Tommy Mo, Steph L., Jessica, Kris, Brandon, Erin, Bethy, Jason, Hero Mike, Sam, Matt, Ivy, Josh T., KTUCK, Heath, Brian S., Charlie and Ivan all rode the PR train yesterday. GREAT job you guys! Sam went and set a PR by 20kg's!
Once we were all done high-fiving each other and spraying each other with champagne, we actually got in a workout. The Chief is one of those workouts that doesn't look that hard. Believe me people...it's hard. Not just a little hard either...it's Tom Cruise Crazy Hard. Somewhere between the heavy power cleans, and the 9 squats EVERY round, you'll find yourself thinking "Oh God, we have 3 more rounds of this?" For those of you who held a blazing 5 round pace, do the math....you did 225 squats!
I'm proud of you guys for gutting this one out. I'm especially proud of Miss Bethy for going through RX'd! Well, she didn't INTEND to go through RX'd, but Kris and I put 5 more kg's on her barbell while she was doing her pre-workout nervous pee. Tee hee!
Here's Bethy going RX'd and LOVING it.
