Pulling

Weighted chin-ups: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3
30, 35, 40, 45, 50 (2)

======

Bent over rows: 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
95, 100, 105, 110, 115

I set up safeties in the second hole so that when the bar touched them on the way down it would be between my knees and middle shin.

======

5 RFT:
5 chest to bar chin-ups
5 neutral grip pull-ups
Time = 7:21!!!

Of course, I was pretty slow starting and stopping my watch, which probably cost me a second. If only I hadn't failed on that one rep...

======

Wide grip pull-ups: 3 x max reps
6, 5, 4

======

Curls @ 45lb (curved bar plus two 10lb plates on each side)
This started off as preacher curls. My first set of 5 reps was tough but completed. With the second set I couldn't even complete 1 rep! Using the same bar and plates, I switched to standing curls and aimed for 5 reps in each set. All I could manage was:
4, 4, 4

The failed chest-to-bar chin-up was about halfway through the whole routine. After that I just made sure I rested when I needed to. I can't remember how many sets/reps I'd done at the time, but I recall looking at my watch around the 5 minute mark and thought I was going to kill your time. Then when I started the last set I had just over a minute left to beat you, so it was a close thing in the end.

ya the c2b chins went down to singles fairly quickly, the neutral pullups were usually 2 at a time. Like I said in my blog, first round done in 23 seconds, after that not so much.

My first round was 27 seconds, so not far off.
