Thrusters 65#
Pullups

Notes:
Today was just a mess. I felt great going in. My hips were feeling good. I had a plan of trying to get the pull-ups in 11/10, 15, 9. I got the first set of thrusters unbroken and they felt pretty good. I got 11 pull-ups and my grip was gone. I think the next 10 took 3 sets. By the time I got back to the bar my forearms were so cramped up I could barely grip the bar. I decided to stop, stretch some more and try again in a little while. I waited about 30 minutes and tried again.
Take 2: First set of thrusters felt fine. I broke the pull-ups into 7/7/7 which worked much better. I wanted to get the 15 set of thrusters unbroken, but I had to break it into 8/7. I planned on going 5/5/5 for the pull-ups. Got the first 5. Jumped up for the next 5 and felt my hand rip on the first one. I got 2 and fell off. I tried to get back up, but it HURT. I gave up again. I was so frustrated and pissed at myself. I sat in the floor for a 1-1:30.  After sitting there a while I decided I was going to finish. I did the rest of the pull-ups as singles barely holding on with my fingertips. Last set of thrusters was fine. My time was 7:25. Ugh...
