18.5 is 12.5 is 11.6

Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

This is a timed workout. If you complete the round of 18, go on to 21. If you complete 21, go on to 24, etc.

The Puori Prize for 18.5 is a nice little blend of Vitamin C, Zinc, Yerba Mate Leaf and Ginko Biloba.

I kid you not, I have been on a regime of Puori supplements since we started the Open.  You may recall an earlier post were I clearly stated that I had been out of the Box for six weeks with the flu after months of solid training between January of 17 and now, that I felt horrible, that my shoulders were killing me and that I was no where near "ready" for the Open.

With a solid training program, a supportive wife, great training partners and the proper nutrition and supplementation plan I feel better than I have in years.

If you haven't tried Puori yet you really should.
