CFOT Results: Lynne



Scott Mendelson's 1,015-lb bench press


We did Lynne today, which is 5 rounds of max reps in bench press at bodyweight and pull-ups.

As many predicted, Daniel took home top honors in the men's division. Nabil, in his first time doing this workout, put up an impressive 194. Good stuff! Also warranting mention is Connor's first round of bench presses at 250#, knocking out 15 reps!

The women's division was a two-woman contest between Tamara and Candace, with Tamara edging out Candace for top honors. These two athletes hold the distinction of being the only women in CFO to do Lynne as rx'd to date.


Top 3 Men:

Daniel 204
Nabil 194
Patrick 183

Top 2 Women:

Tamara 114
Candace 112


I'm still crying over my 2-point loss to Patrick for third place. But all in all, it was great work by everyone, with a ton of PRs being hit by many.

The CFOT totals have been updated through today's workout.

Enjoy the rest day!

Mendleson's 2 1/2 inch range of motion is breathtaking.

Yay! Candace and Tamara. A perfect example of Mike's post today: you are both strong and beautiful!

His range is impressive! I wasn't really sure when he did the actual lift but his buddies were sure excited!
Nabil,
Nice work yesterday. I was tired as hell and wanted to just breeze through the workout but you made me bring my A game. You got 220 next time around easy. There must be something in calve tattoos that makes the bench easier or something...

Yeah the tattoo definitely makes bench press easier.... but only if you get it on the right calf, a tattoo on the left calf means you're gay... or wait, is it the other way around? ... I thought it was opposite of the ear ring rule because you're dealing with the frontal plane and not the sagital plane.... oh now I'm really stressed out!

Mike, did I get a point for doing hang squat cleans as rx'd today on the rest day?

Same here for making up Lynne as Rx'd

Brad & Patrick,

Both your counts are up-to-date now.

haha i must be confused, bc i went down a pt from last night. guess i shouldn't have said anything. points schmoints...the throwdown has motivated me, and thats all that counts.

Mike Minium said...

P,

You went down a point because Connor came in and put down 325# x 3, knocking you out of third place and into the rx'd category.
