Filthy Freakin' Fifty...it's a bad word

Filthy Fifty - a hell like you've yet to experience....
- 50 box jumps (24"/20")
- 50 jumping pullups
- 50 kettlebell swings (16 kg/12 kg)
- 50 walking lunges
- 50 knees-to-elbows
- 50 push press (45/35)
- 50 back extensions
- 50 wallballs (20/16)
- 50 burpees
- 50 double-unders
for time

I might have liked this one..or even basked in the workout afterglow had I actually finished it. This was the ultimate punisher - you have got to have some major stamina to keep workin' through. Looking at it, it looks hellish enough, but doable....then you try to do it. We were cut off at 40 mins. I didn't get to the 2nd set of burpees or double under substitutes of up/downs - which probably would have taken me another 20 minutes or so....because I cannot do burpees fast. In fact -speed is not my forte....I think I must focus more on form for most things because Speedy Gonzales, I am not. Anyway....this was even more difficult than I envisioned. Someday, maybe I'll be able to do it...just like the a real pullup. I just don't like not doing the whole thing.....that is going to grate on me and irritate me when I think about it. If you start something - you should finish - it's one of the golden rules...ARGH!
