First time trying these ever. Much harder then I thought they’d be. Didn’t realize the isometric effect this has on the arms and back. Last rep was an absolute grinder. Did much more then I thought I would, though. 34 squats taken care of for daily work.

Conditioning: Faust
Do 100 Devil presses with 12lb dumbbells EMOM, do 5 chins (kipping is fine)
Time: 17:52

Did this with 12lb dumbbells instead of 50s because they’re the only dumbbells I have. And I’m glad because holy shit this was hard. Definitely one of the hardest conditioning WODs I’ve ever done. Can’t even imagine what doing it with 50s but I am curious (not curious) to find out. I also wanna try Kalsu at some point. Push-ups and pull-ups taken care of for daily work.

Hell yeah dude! Pun partially intended as well. Dude, Faust is just a different kind of awful. It’s very “Kalsu-esque” in the bargaining and lies you tell yourself, but the worst part is how is just chews up your hands. No shame in using the 12s: just getting some sort of resistance is enough to keep you honest.

Notes
Feeling super fatigued from all the running. Hopefully in the next week or two my body will have caught up with the new demands. The running is gonna be super hard so I may just cut back to doing OPM 6 days a week instead of the full 7. I’m gonna take a rest day tomorrow and hit lower body hard on Monday.
