For fewest sets:
100 Bodyweight Bench Press
Coach’s notes: There is no time component to this workout, so take as much time as you want between sets. Post weight used, bodyweight and number of sets to comments.
Compare to August 23, 2008
Carmen, I heard through the grapevine you did very well on your pull-ups, post your damn results!
13 sets completed…using 65#. Thanks, Brett. I think posting BW is getting a little personal, though.
Hey Alvo – have you given any thought to what you are going do with your “extra” oly bar? No worries either way just let me know if I need to keep shopping – Cheers.
Chris i lost the piece of paper you gave me. Call me 4039735341
This is actually embarassing… 31 sets @ 105 lbs *last 15 reps were all 1s*
BW 135 (too much beer at lake!!!) long wod – 40+minutes!
Maria, nice work today! I thought 65 was your BW!!!
If I actually managed to finish the workout, I would post my results! Only did 2 rounds out of the 5 as I couldn’t feel my arms. Deadlift was a disaster!
1st rd: 185 lbs/36 pull ups
2nd rd: 165 lbs/33 pull ups (attempted 195 but couldn’t even lift it off the ground!)
100 lbs – 8 sets
17/11/12/11/13/13/12/11
Two years ago 100 lbs was 70% BW and took 18 sets
Now it is 63% BW and took 8 sets
Some of that new BW must be muscle!
Spent 34 minutes on this WOD.
65lbs 8 sets
my 1rm for BP is 110 and my BW is 30 more than that.
The last half of the wod was difficult. My reps got very slow.
Started with 60%BW (75lb) for 8 sets. Then scaled further to 52%BW (65lb) or the final 7 sets. 15 sets total!
Decided to play around and do some testing today.
2000m row 7:49.8 (2010 goal was a sub 7:50) so happy with this. Rested about an hour then did Randy (75 Power Snatch @ 55lbs) 4:59 (PR). Last time was 6 minutes, thanks Brett.

I ran 9 times 400 mts (not 10 like I posted before). Just in case Cory sees the mistake!
Okay didn’t finish got to 75 reps at 75lbs ran out of time
12/12/10/10/8/7/10/6
Scaled to 65#
15/13/13/14/13/15/11/6 = 8 rounds
Since my shoulder doesn’t like bench press, I decided to substitute 100 3/4 BW hang power cleans instead.
18 sets at 155# = 10/10/9/8/6/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/4/4/3/4/4/3!
This became primarily a grip workout, and my hands are pretty beaten up. My legs are also quite bruised from catching the bar after each rep…
Neil – 135lbs 7/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/7/7=76 reps and 14 rds
Judy – 33 lbs 10 rds 11/10/10/10/10/12/10/10/10/10=103 reps
Great work Fuzzy!
70lbs, 8 sets (18/14/13/13/13/15/9/5)
Great working with Lori and Lynette, you guys are awesome!
Thank you so much Chantal for the coaching.
I had to do this one at the gym 😛
Started off at 145lbs (bw is 147) but after the first three set realised that there was no one there to spot me so I dropped the weight to 135lb. Results as follows:
145lbs 10/8/8
135lbs 8/8/10/10/10/10/10/8
Total of 11 sets.
125 lbs (70% BW)
20/20/15/15/13/11/6
Total of 7 sets.
Thanks Brett
25 sets (27 if you count 2 that failed)
155lbs up to 72 reps, the remaining with 135lbs
65lbs
15/17/15/14/12/11/4
Total sets 8
Thanks Brett
Scaled to 65#
25/15/14/13/8/7/6/6/4/1/1 = 11 sets
Started off great and then after a really hard fight for a final rep (most likely in the set of 13), I crashed hard. After the last 6 I was pretty much done; therefore the 4,1,1.
Thanks Brett!
A big scale to 70#- finished to 84 and then ran out of time…no idea of sets- oops, left the info on the whiteboard. Thanks Brett and Candace for the spotting!
