4/14/08 - Congrats to Mike Quirk on not only hitting a landmark and moving to the blue band, but on the 5th round something seemed to click and was able to almost double the pull ups with ease.   I could see that the change took place, his nervous system "learned" how to do a pull up better, just like you'd learn to balance on a bike.  Congrats Mike.

Scores:
Jeremy Stecker - 81 - As rx'd(1.5 pood KB) (rounds thrust-27, pullups-25, burpees-29)
Mike Quirk - 65 (Thrust-18{115 pounds], pullups-31 (blue band), burpees-16)

On monday we'll be hitting some fight gone bad.  This is one of my favorites and have a long term goal of 350. 

Here's a video from crossfit explaining more about the workout.  It is a cardio beast!

I love watching MMA, but I don't think I'd like to get into a ring with any of them.  I would, however, like to achieve their level of cardio-respiratory endurance.
