6.2.11

WOD:
Pull-Ups / Burpees as: 50/10; 40/20; 30/30; 20/40; 10/50.

I knew this was impossible with me even with assisted pull-ups, so I did:
30 assisted pull-ups with 69.5 lbs assistance (10-8-6-3-3)
10 Burpees on a bench (rather than going all the way to the floor). This gave me much better form and allowed me to do the work out better than flailing around trying to get all the way to the ground and kick back. I will shoot for moving closer to the ground with burpees until can do on the floor as they should be.
20 pull-ups (10-5-4-1) / 20 burpees (10-5-5)
10 pull-ups (4-3-2-1) / 30 burpees (10-8-7-5)
On the burpees, I felt good on the jump on the end. In fact kind of surprised myself because when I thought I should be hitting the floor on the return, I was still in the air! Maybe muscle flexibility/resiliency can come back after all that short ROM grinding of long runs.
