Non-atomic

Rather than use up all the equipment to construct our ghetto-'GHD' rigs, we'll probably substitute V-Sit-Ups. After looking for a video, I will no longer refer to these as 'atomic sit-ups'.

AMRAP in 20 minutes
  • 10 GHD Sit-Ups (or V-ups)
  • 10 Pull-Ups
  • 15 Back-Extensions (or good-mornings)
  • 15 Push-Ups

V-Sit-Up description: From a full prone position with arms extended overhead, lift torso and arms at the same time, hands touching toes. This should cause you to form a V with just your tailbone touching the floor. Lower torso/arms/legs at the same time. Repeat. Video.

Results:
  • Abby - 4 + 3/4 Rounds (through back-extension on 5th round), sub jumping pull-ups, knee push-ups
  • Jennifer - 5 + 1/3 Rounds + 2 jumping pull-ups, sub jumping pull-ups, knee push-ups
  • Seth - 8 Rounds + 5 V-ups, sub 55# good-mornings for back-extensions
  • James and the 10-fitness crew, alternate workout "~7 Up-Yours", see comments

I did a 10Fitness variation of "7-up yours." Since there is no dip station and we can't do double-unders we did the following:

7 rounds:

7 pull-ups
7 thrusters 2x25 DBs
7 burpees
7 walking lunges per leg (14 total)
7 push-ups
7 sit-ups

James: 20:14(PR) - previous time of 23:09 on 2/10/09

Ron: DNF 4 rounds in 16:11(PR), sub 20# DBs - previous DNF 3 rounds in 15:53, sub 20# DBs on 2/10/09

Laura (first day): 18:02, subs: 10# DBs, 2 rnds reg pull-ups 5 rnds jumping pull-ups, 6 rnds reg push-ups 1 rnd of women's push-ups.

We got showed the eff up by the newcomer! Ron and I are officially in the market for a new pair.

That's quite a strong showing by the newcomer.
Kind of overshadows the significant improvement since last time you guys did this one.

Ours was plenty tough, but at least it didn't have burpees or thrusters.
