tag team

With Kurt & Rolfe (his first time).

Part 1:
Station 1: 5 ring pushups, feet elevated
Station 2: DB thrusters until station 1 is complete (I used 20# dbs)
Station 3: Situps
Rotate stations for 5 rounds, minimum rest

After 5 rounds, Rolfe dropped out, so we eliminated the situp station and Kurt and I went 5 more rounds for a total of 50 ring pushups. My thrusters were in the 8-12 range per round, depending on how long the pushup station took.

Part 2:
Station 1: Power clean @ 95 (Kurt did DL @ 95, R did DB deadlifts), 12-9-6-3 reps
Station 2: "Rest" while hanging from bar in tucked lever until station 1 is finished
Station 3: Box jumps, 24-18-12-6 reps
Time 12:44

I like the concept of the "slow man punishes the fast man"--in other words, X does an exercise until Y is finished with a fixed number of reps. This makes the stronger man work harder on the off exercise.
