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...
