52/m/195
Did main Crossfit WOD: 120 pull-ups, 120 dips for time as a sub for 30 muscle-ups for time.
I did assisted dips
Did everything in sets of 24 sets of 5, although pull-up sets were all broken up after first 20 pull-ups or so. Did pull-ups and chin-ups. Put my chin on top of the bar on every pull/chin-up.
TIME: 40:18
Ran 1 mile on treadmill at 0% incline.
5 months ago I did my first single unassisted pull-up. Today 120 pull-ups. That’s progress. If I can ever get an unassisted dip, I will be ready to buy some rings and try to learn the muscle-up. Hopefully the 120 assisted dips today are going to move me toward that goal. My right shoulder continues to be screwed up, but I figure eventually I may build up enough strength just to power through whatever is wrong with the joint.
I still can’t believe it. 120 pull-ups at age 52. I know there are others, like Minter, who have done a lot more impressive feats at 52, but I feel some gloating coming on. That was 120 pull-ups. 5×24 6×20 10×12 3×40 120×1 120 pull-ups! This Crossfit stuff is a joyous misery.
