Strength: Stone Shouldering
42# stone for practice
93# # stone x2
My first try I couldn't even budge the stone from the ground. I had several more failed attempts and then for some reason I was able to just walk up and move the stone into position. First try I didn't "hug" the stone high enough so I was essentially lifting it from my stomach to my shoulder. The second try I brought it to right under my chin and was able to roll it up to my shoulder.

For 20 minutes:
Run 400 m
Max rep pull-ups
6 rounds, 44 pull-ups. (6 + 8 + 9 + 8 + 8 + 5 = 44)
Thanks to Brad for reminding me after my first round to not try and control my descent on my pull-ups with negatives! As you can see, I improved after that.
I know my max pull-up reps are on the low end, but coming from where I started, it's a huge improvement. I never would of guessed that when I started CrossFit a little over 2 years ago that I would ever be able to do that many pull-ups in a work-out unassisted. Especially after the embarrassing pull-up bar incident I had in front of Jason Khalipa at my CrossFit certification...but I'll save that story for another day.
