22,000 lbs in 22 minutes

I keep checking my math and I think it's right. 22,000 lbs in 22 minutes. If my calculations are right, that is how much weight I moved on Tuesday night at CrossFit Swift. It really is amazing when you think of it in those terms.

The workout for the night was:

5 rounds for time of - 10 deadlifts (250#) and 10 ring dips (I weigh 190#).
I was able to finish this in 22 minutes.

So if you look at it this way -
DL - 50 x 250lb = 12,500lb
Ring Dip - 50 x 190lb = 9,500lb
Grand Total of 22,000lbs

That is an amazing amount of work. I was quite slow if you compare me to Mason who did it in 15.50, but I did it and I finished it all with no modifications.

I am definitely getting stronger and this proves it.
