PARTNER WOD FROM HELL: SWEET & LOWDOWN DRILLS IT AGAIN

Firebreathers in DRILLit Nation--this one's for y'all. It comes to HQ courtesy of our man in the East Bay, Sweet & Lowdown. S&L has been hammering out insane WOD's all summer long and builidng a gigantic mega-climbing base on the bike. He could use a prod to get into the competitive arena, so let's hear some words of encouragement. Coming from a running background and with the ability to recover seemingly instantly, S&L has a bright future ahead of him in tri, bike racing, or the Crossfit Games if he steps up and steps into the arena of gladitorial combat. Will he do it? We'll see.

Should he do it? No doubt--just look at this partner WOD from hell. A ballbreaker for most, but just another Wednesday (after a 50-mile hard climbing ride) for the man who has raised the bar for all of DRILLit nation.

Notes: I want to give big props to Bert "The Hurt" Jonson, his progress in the gym is astonishing. Not to make this about the superiority of functional strength/interval training over traditional body building, bulk up/cut down style training, but his fitness and physique have improved rapidly since he switched his training style over. Today for example he squated 185# 60 times in 24min on top of doing more un-assisted pull ups ever in a work out. 3 months ago he was struggling to squat 95# ten times. Most of the progress is not in the way the workouts are written, rather in the way they are performed; active, inspired, and aggressive vs. passive, apathetic and submissive. To quote the Human "ad-Vontz-ment," its about living alive.
