I wasn't ready for this. I was a bit jazzed up after I wrote it out this morning, and I even jogged in between the snatch high pulls and the pull-ups, but after that I was done. I rested quite a bit between sets of 5 of the pull-ups. Everything else went okay, but I was walking to each station. I used 95# barbell for the high pulls and front squats. The Zercher front squats are really cool. If you're like me and have a hard time maintaining form on regular squats, you might try these. You cradle the bar in between your forearm and biceps, right in your elbow-pit. The weight is then in front of your body and lower than normal. I could really feel it in my glutes and hips. Anyway, I slogged my way through this in 13:47. Good news is, my shoulder hasn't been bothering me at all, though I did hear little "pops" when doing the pull-ups. Oh well, just another lifelong injury.
