yuck. my burpees were at least consistent(though they could certainly have been faster). I clearly fell apart on the DL.

For the record, I HATED my bar. First of all, it was dark out, and the bar was dark, and it was impossible to tell where the knurling was, so I often picked up the bar with an uneven hand position which made for very awkward lifts. But the very worst thing is that it had a very rough finish, and it would not slide up the fabric of my pants - it snagged on it - like socks without fabric softener, and there was something about the sensation of it or the sound of it that was just like nails on a chalk board to me. it made me ANGRY. Deadlifts are plenty hard enough without having to deal with added friction from one's clothing slowing the bar down.

115# just is not that heavy, but it sure felt heavy. I really thought I was going to do better that this on this workout. :-(
