120 pull-ups isn't so bad, and 120 Burpees aren't stomch-churning, but put them together and it's a sweat inducing workout. I did this outside this morning, just as it started getting nice and hot and humid with the sun shining right in my face. I finished the first 5 rounds in 12:30 so I didn't lose to much steam over the second half.

5 rounds plus 4 pull-ups. That's about the same as what I got on the last Cindy, but 4 pull-ups extra. I'm not sure what that means. Is it good or bad that you get the same number. Would it take me exactly 20 minutes to get 65 pull-ups, 150 push-ups, and 225 squats?

I did this at the park. A couple of kids came by the pull-up bars with their father and wanted to do what I was doing. The father lifted them up and they tried and tried but couldn't get out one pull-up. I smiled as I was doing sets of 5. I said, "Come on, you guys hardly weigh anything. Pull!" The older kis managed to get about halfway up and I told him that he should keep practicing if he wanted to get big and strong. The father asked me how many pull-ups I usually do. I told him that today I was doing 150 and his jaw dropped. "150 Pull-ups?!?" "Yeah," I said, "plus the half mile runs in between."

Then he picked up the kids and walked away. I think he might have thought I was a looney.

75 Push-ups
95 pound Sumo-deadlift high-pull, 50 reps

Ran out of time and (more importantly) energy on this one. I did 75 bar dips. I did one pull-up with 45 punds, realized that dog wouldn't hunt, then did 12 reps with 25 pounds, and the remainder with 20 pounds. Then I did 26 HSPUs with my legs over the Smith Machine bar. Total time: 30:57
