Results on beginner using mens weight: 11:36
I forgot my regular watch, so I did not get split times. I think I finished the first round in about 3:30 - I didn't quite manage to maintain that pace. SDHP after jumping pullups is really HARD.

Max said that this should really be a blazing metcon, and even one round of 21 legit pullups and 15 deadlifts at 135# would not have been anything close to a metcon for me, which is why I opted for the beginner selection at the men's weight.
Having the SDHP right after the jumping pullups was still a little bit of a roadblock to 'blazing' because i frequently had to wait for my hip flexors to recover enough to get another SDHP rep. The 9 pushups were an absolute breeze.
I really like that Max has been has been breaking up the workouts into Advanced, Intermediate and Beginner - it really helps to have the scaling pre-thought out. It's a little disheartening that I am still stuck at beginner level on so many exercises, but only a little. I know I am still WAY better than I was when I started. It just reinforces was an amazingly low place that was.
