Thanks for the reminder Nabil. I’m pleasantly surprised to see that your workouts/coaching actually do work
These were my goals from May:

1. muscle up – Yes
2. 185# Deadlift – Yes
3. 115# Press – Yes
4. 20 consecutive Pull Ups Chest to Bar – ? I’ll try this week
5. Not feel like Death after FRAN – Questionable. We’ll see after Sat.

Great job to everyone else! Aaron, you have come a long way since the workout in the park. Keep it up!

Brandon you have a 285 power clean? Really? Please describe the ‘movement’ that you are currently calling a power clean.

405 lb Squat – I’m somewhere around 385-395

300 lb Power Clean – I’m at approximately 285

Sub 60 sec 400M – If someone is chasing me – yes

Complete 30 MU’s for time – possibly. I need to try this one out soon- maybe today

Hand stand push-ups – negative

Develop the upper body strength of 4 year old – I think I’m in the 3 1/2 year old range

Nabil – 405 deadlift – that will be easy for you

Aaron – 10 consecutive MU’s- I hate you

I didn’t post last time, but I wrote them in my book.

Dead Lift 500 Lbs x 1 – Not sure, but I have a month to get close.

10 consecutive Muscle Ups – Done.

Fran < 5 mins – Haven’t tested it, but I think I’m there.

50 Consecutive Pull Ups – Now that I somewhat know how to kip this should happen.

Overhead Squat 225 Lbs x 1 – We’ll see.

Nabil – You definitely will get the Dead Lift, I guarantee it.

Helen – It looks like you already a couple out of the way, nice job!

My goals from May, and my progress:
405×1 Deadlift: not sure about this one, it will be tough

body weight overhead squat x10 reps: not there yet, but should be able to get it by end of August

30 muscle ups in under 9 minutes: this one is in the bag!

swim Alcatraz faster than a couple of years back: not a chance. I’ve decided to bail on this one since the race is 4 weeks away and I haven’t gotten in the pool yet.
