CrossFit Day 110

Today’s workout was “Nate”, a hero workout that debuted about a month ago. My variation, “Eights for Nate”, features 20 minutes of work for max rounds. My lack of a pullup bar today will have me doing the pullups on a door. Here we go.

Eights for Nate:

Max rounds in 20 minutes of:

  1. 8 door pullups
  2. 8 weighted chair dips (22#)
  3. 8 handstand pushups (knees on table)
  4. 8 kettlebell swings (53#)

I thought that I’d be able to equal my effort from last time and get 8 rounds of the Eights done. Unfortunately, I underestimated the difficulty of doing pullups against a door with a limited range of motion. The pullups took much longer than they do on a bar, just because there’s nowhere to go but up. I’m going to get a pullup bar as soon as possible.

I finished 7 rounds with 15 seconds to spare. Next time, I’m going to get at least 8 rounds. No more door pullups for me. That’s a little bit ridiculous. Let’s try not to break our equipment in the future.

My HRM: 20:12, 7:32 zone (hard); HR: 158 avg, 178 max; 264 cal
