Wallball, Pull-ups - Bench

Seven rounds for time of:

10 Wallball shots, 20 pound ball
10 Pull-ups

Time - 4:34.06 (18second PR

Oct. 23, 2010 time = 4:52

My arms were already sore from pull-ups earlier this week.  We just did it anyway.  This one hits on about the 6th round.  It gets the heart rate up pretty well but is over pretty fast also.  I think I shaved off some time by throwing the ball "granny style" from the ground on the first rep instead of loading it on at chest level and then throwing it.  It takes a little more energy but it is also faster.

Extra WOD for the day -

Resting 60 seconds between sets:
Bench press 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2

Oct 6, 2010 - January 28, 2011 - Today
225-225-205-215-215-215-215-215-215-215 Total = 2160
210-215-220-225-225-225-225-225-230-235 Total = 2235
215-215-220-225-225-225-225-225-235-240 Total = 2250

I did this in the 17 minutes I have between lunch just like last time and just like last time I quickly warmed up with 135x5, 185x3 and 205x2.  I have not gained a lot but I still feel pretty good because I have lost at least 10lbs since I did this in January and I was still able to bench just a bit more.  However, I was at my limit on the lest set it took almost 15 seconds to get the bar up and like normal my left side went up first.  My right arm got stuck for a while and I am lucky the weight did not slide off the bar because I didn't have any clamps on due to not having a spotter.  I like this lift and have to find time to keep working on it.  I would like more progress.
