WOD 2/8/10
"Nicole"
20m AMRAP
400m
Max Pull Ups
Your pull ups MUST be continuous and the chin must be above the bar on each rep. Shoulders must be open at the bottom of the rep. If you are not meeting that standard, then the cycle has been broken and you have maxed out. More than a 1-2 sec. pause at the bottom will also DQ you from that round.
If you are doing jumping pull ups, it's time to sack up and use a band. You will not get to your goal of doinga full ROM pull up by doing jumping pull ups constantly. Also, don't do J-p/u's all day in this WOD. I will cut you off at 60 jumping, since it's 3 for 1 to regular pull ups.
Also, DO NOT let your calluses tear. I don't care if you think the man gods are going to revoke your "man card", DO NOT let your hands tear. You will know if the skin is starting to shift against the under layers, so drop off and use a band or go to jumping pull ups. A torn hand is an injury that takes you out of the game, makes showers miserable, and may ruin whatever else you like to do with that hand. It's not worth it. It's also a bloody mess and it really doesn't impress me. The occassional tears happen, just be cognizant of what you are doing and try to avoid it.
Yes, your biceps will be really sore tomorrow...

For a limited engagement, I’ll be modeling my newly acquired pink “mankini” this Saturday. Ian has generously donated a dancer’s pole for me to utilize during my modeling routine. Any and all donations would greatly be appreciated. All donations will help supply the CFC frig with delicious, thirst quenching BEER!" Posted in WOD 7/26/10
Trent - you're welcome! I agree with you 100%. I actually found it after my return to a strength day this past Tuesday. It felt SO GOOD to sling some weight! That essay was like a mirror to how my soul felt. Yup, it was that deep. I'm glad you dig it! =)" Posted in WOD 7/24/10

Kaysie- Thank you so much for posting the link to "Iron and the Soul" by Henry Rollins in the forum. A super inspirational and heartfelt essay. I think it eloquently puts words to what most of us feel deep down. For those that have not read it I would definitely recommend you do so.
See you peeps on Monday" Posted in WOD 7/24/10
