Some of us just had that recurring conversation about GHD sit ups. As in, 90 reps = possible swollen and sore belly followed by nasty agonizing sneezes or coughing. Remember your last fun fest and scale accordingly. Pick 60% of 1RM for your back squats and keep a measured/smooth pace. If you can't control your descent on those we'll tell you... Loudly.
For time:
225 pound Back squat, 21 reps
42 GHD Sit-ups
225 pound Back squat, 15 reps
30 GHD Sit-ups
225 pound Back squat, 9 reps
18 GHD Sit-ups
Under the "tell me something new" file: We know our bosses don't care how much sleep we miss until it starts costing them. A by-product of that is that we can benefit from the studies they pay for when they try to figure how much it costs them to have exhausted employees. Here are some interesting facts about sleep deprivation. For a great book on the topic check out the quirky but fact filled, Lights Out, Sleep, Sugar and Survival, by T.S. WIley.
I forgot to post last night!! Must be my delerium from head pain on the ghds...damn those things!!

OK, so weird thing..."perspicacity" has nothing to do with perspiring...who knew. Enjoy the pain!
De nada

Jud, as always your perspicacity and caring never disappoint. That's a classic video and a great point that you make. This darn GHD movement is for flexion of your hip joint, not your torso. Don't curve your belly forward like an abmat sit up or you WILL experience low back pain.
The MOD is good 'ol Abmat sit ups on the ground. If you are in doubt on these mess around with the GHD before or after the workout but use the regular sit ups for the WOD. Watch the vid!
Gracias Jud!

Thanks Jud. Now if they could just fix the dizzy feeling I get when I do GHD's I'd be good to go. Sometimes they make me feel like I just got off a bad roller coaster.

Hey PM friends I offer this only because some of us "morning folks" were talking about back pain post GHD. Here's an old school vid featuring Coach and one of my FAVS NC lecturing about proper GHD form. Gotta keep those legs/knees locked out on the way up.
Please to enjoy
