weighted strict pull-ups 6×3 (7.5# max)

3 rounds for time:
100m farmer’s carry 2×53#
15x DB shoulder-to-overhead 2×35#
15x DB lunges 2×35#

13:22

I have only done single rep weighted pull-ups recently, so the additional poundage was much less that previous efforts due to the 3x reps. I had to wrap my left hand because my palms are still ripped.

The metcon wasn’t that bad; in addition to the cardio, it was more of a forearm workout. The last time I did the farmer’s carry I used 2×70# kettlebells, but BC (RB wasn’t there for some reason) said that we should be able to go the distance without dropping it, so I went with the 53# ones. After the first round I still had to stop because my forearms were burning. In retrospect, I should’ve used 45#-55# on the DB stuff, as they were difficult only because my forearms hurt from the farmer’s carry. I probably would’ve finished those exercises in the same amount of time.

The workout didn’t thrill me all that much, but I definitely sweat a lot and it was apparent my forearms need work.
