TB Fighter - 80%. Running late today so I knocked out squats and pull-ups (8/7) since someone was using the platform where I can do the clean and presses. Had a few minutes left so tested my two minute push-ups. 52 with much stricter form than I normally do, went a bit too fast out of the gate so total time was 1:20.

4 mile run in under 46 minutes. Changed into boots and then knocked out an 8 mile ruck in 2:26. 35# ruck. Lots of rain today, not a whole lot of fun.

GORUCK challenge workout. 24 minute AMRAP of the following, all with 35# ruck: 1 minute high plank hold, 20 walking lunges, 20 shoulder to shoulders, 400m ruck. I managed four rounds of PT and was starting the fourth 400m when the timer beeped, so I finished that and tacked on an extra mile as a cool down for a total of 4 one minute high plank holds, 80 walking lunges, 80 shoulder to shoulders, and 2 miles.

Some baseline fitness testing today.
3 mile run in 27:07, best time so far. In the evening, will update after testing a five minute AMRAP of burpees.
ÉDIT: 52 burpees in 5 minutes. Ouch.

Today I rucked the Ogden half marathon in Wheeling WV, called one of the hilliest half marathons ever. I finished in 3:52 with a friend of mine and a 30# ruck plate with almost 1100 feet of gain. It was fun.
Before we started we knocked out our timed two minute push ups and sit ups, 65 and 66 respectively.

How do you program your pullups if you don't mind me asking?grouchyjarhead wrote:20190523:

I've had mixed success with the TB method for bodyweight pullups, I'd appreciate your take on it.
Thanks.

Re: Grouchyjarhead Training
I set a rep goal for myself - currently it’s 15 but I fee ready to try 20. If I can hit those reps in two sets more than once then I will bump it up to 20 and repeat. I get more volume and it seems like my pull ups respond well to it. If I miss it in two sets, let’s say 9 and 7, then I finish with 4 reps for an even 20.
What I like about it is even if you can only do 1 pull up, start at 5 and do 5 pull ups. If you’re hitting 10+ regularly, go weighted and use it in a TB cluster. Or keep going for bodyweight but going higher - rep goals of 30-50+. It’s all in how you want to use it.
