AMRAP Thursday!

My turn so it was back to that great and grueling AMRAP workout from the beginning of the month.  One substitution--assisted pull-ups for push-ups.
  1. Wheel of Torture--D: 18-18-16 (52)  L: 29-14-11 (54)
  2. 40# push-pull--13-12-10 (35)  / 16-16-12  (47)
  3. Jumping lunges--60-34-35 (129) / 27-32-36 (95)
  4. Assisted pull-ups--12-8-8 (28) / 12-12-13-5 (42)
  5. Frog leaps--20-12-8 (40) / 9-11-12 (32)
  6. Dips--33-22-16 (71) / 27-16-15 (58)
Totals:  David 355, Lucas 326.  I'd call that even.  David counted lunges differently but I think I went deeper so I think we can call it a wash.  Definitely need to standardize that kind of stuff. 

Warm down with Tai Chi 64 & 24 and perhaps other stuff for David and Phil after I bailed.

David's Bonus Warm up: 5mins of Jump Rope and 75 Push-ups
