  1. I'm a day early this week. Great workout, those squats were a nice way to kick off the workout.

    My 'Helen' time was 10:55 - I surprised myself and kept the reps unbroken.

    Good luck!

    PS - Did anyone order & receive an MDM t-shirt? Still waiting on mine...

  2. Good workout. Definitely felt the squats during the first 400. 13:56. Unlike my brother, I did not keep the pull-ups unbroken with my pulse maxing out after the KB swings.

  3. You got me again Seth! 11:48 for me. FYI I have my MDM shirt. Took about three weeks to receive. Their Facebook site is keeping everyone up to speed on delivery.

  4. 15:07 for me but I only used a 25lb. kettle bell and did assisted pull-ups so I could finish in under 24 hours.
