It started out as follows: I did this Cross fit workout last night and found out my cardio sucks. I challenge you to try it and see what you can get for a time. Workout - 30 clean and press of 60 kg. It took me 6:00 min. I am proud to say that I did not puke ( wanted to ) and I am still alive. If you decide to do it let me know what you got for time, it will serve as some motivation next time I attempt it. Anyone wanting to give it a shot...please do and post your time in this thread.

Was not sure what to expect to went a little slow. Ended up doing 135lbs for 30 in 4:55. Now that i know how hard it is, i will try again and go for a better time.

I got 4:20 on Thursday. It was hard, but not truck pull/prowler push hard. I can see how you could rapidly improve your time with training. ------ Reporter to Doug Hepburn: "How does it feel to be all brawn and no brains?"

I made a mistake of hammering the first 15 reps as fast as i could, then had to take a 30-45 sec break, then did sets of 5 till 30. Frickin hard, was ready to hang my head over the toilet after lol

Did not think you guys wanted to watch me for almost 3 mins. I have to confess..i may have been cheating. I did these outside, and was dropping the bar from lockout, like the oly guys do. Is that ok?

Haha...i did 12 reps..then paused...10 then paused..and 8 for the win. I did each set as fast as i could. 12 reps was like 45..then i rested for 15...started on the 10..which i think was around 1:45 when done rested for 15......and then hammered out the last 8.

Is that the show where i did 175-200-225 log medley in 18 seconds? (And missed the 250..arghh) I think you took 20 seconds to get the 175lb log. Maybe you should have lowered it quicker? :-)

I have since learned that conditioning is important. My recollection from that show is that you told everyone to set your logs down onto the tires because you didn't want them to get damaged....... but you were bombing them from lockout to make sure you finished ahead of JC "Unless you try something beyond what you already mastered you will never grow."
