-I pushed for 2 straight minutes, would have done better, but my timing was set from my last pt test...so once i figure out of im good to go next time again, ill get more!
-as for the run..who knows...lol, i guess my 1/4 mile sprints payed off!

-also, according to army, at 72" and 205 lbs i am overweight....even tho according to the tape (which was done very sloppy and my caliper says 11-12 %)..i am 14% bf...im out of control!!! haha

Excellent work, killed it. Very solid 2-mile and your 400s were a great way to train for this, great job all around.

That's awesome. Remember that the chin-ups and especially the DE Deads you can cut out if you feel like that (I know I would have). Getting through them all though is sick, you must have felt awful afterwards, great effort.

Thanks for the comments Mike, and yes, I felt AWEFUL! haha, after the squats, just felt like I got hit by a truck, I could only go home and lay down! haha I thought about taking the chins and deads out, but instead opted for longer rest periods and kind of alternating sets, did chins..De deads x2, chins, de deads...it worked out.

today was a complete day off...i had the "lets run bug" in me today...especially after my 2 mile time...I want to keep it!!! but the rain kept me inside. I will start running again either tomorrow after shoulders, or Saturday on the next off day...still undecided
