8 reps done in the morning before work. Now if only I could do my whole workout in the morning before work again...
Like your signature, spreading the word.8 reps done in the morning before work. Now if only I could do my whole workout in the morning before work again...
I have a spreadsheet log posted in my workspace so I see it everyday and sp does everyone I work with. Almost my whole office is in on this as well. Besides, I always do some pull ups in my warm ups at the gym.Am I the only one forgetting to do these? I always forget until I see new posts in this thread. I guess need to start taking more vitamins haha.
Oh I'll be around, Its going to suck day 50+, but it'll be worth it, I can already notice an increase in lat strength. I'm not used to doing pullups since I cant do more than 8 in a row, due to my body weight, and the fact that unlike everybody in my gym I actualy get my chin over the bar.I added this to the original post to keep a record...
Here's a list of everyone who stated they're in on the challenge. If I missed anyone let me know. We'll see who's still around at the end :sasmokin:
Done and welcomeDude i jsut saw this! this is awsome! im in! I got some catching up to do! but its all good. I can do about 20 but thats mainly cause of my weight...... Put my name down on the list copy cat!! please sir!
After the challenge on your own start doing weighted pull ups and your lats will just explode! I say after the challenge just because weighted pull ups once were in the latter part of this may be a bit too much. But I plan on doing 45lbs weighted after this. I think I'll be good and ready for it then.Oh I'll be around, Its going to suck day 50+, but it'll be worth it, I can already notice an increase in lat strength.

you can do them while waiting in line, you'll have plenty of timeThis thing ends June 16? I never really counted ahead. I might be at Disney World then. Think people will look at me weird if I doing pull-ups on some random piece of Park equipment, ride, or the kids jungle area??? Should be good, Ha!
A picture of that would fit great on the CrossFit.com mainpage....

I'll be keeping watch on this one - can't jump in just yet however. I might have to (painfully) buy-in at a later date however. Keep up the great work!

Nice, how much were you deadlifting?Man I killed it on back yesterday with this workout below so today should have been an easy 10, but it was a struggle. Tomorrow is an active recovery day with a 3-4 mile run so I should be fine again.
Lift
Deadlift 3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1 (use the 3 reps as a lighter warm-up weight, then go up in weight each set for the remaining sets until you hit your one rep max)
WOD
With a continuously running clock do one chest to bar pull-ups one minute, 2 chest to bar pull-ups the second, and so on until failure.
Then I superset some various biceps lifts with some more back work like rows. Followed everything with a good cycling session.
My 3 warm ups were 135 and my last 1 rep was 355.Nice, how much were you deadlifting?
Side not man I'm a few days behind, but my dip belt should be coming in soon so I can add a 45 plate :burnout:
WordRan a 5k tonight with my wife.......halfway through remembered my 10 and jumped on a telephone pole bar that hung over the sidewalk and banged them out!
After my back workout on Tue. I was the most sore today and pumping out 11 sucked. It's always 2 days later that I am the sorest if I do get sore.Lift

I know what you mean I think I have to move pullups to the beginning of my workout...I tend to rape my back with deads.Man I killed it on back yesterday with this workout below so today should have been an easy 10, but it was a struggle.

Just have to make sure you don't miss any daysno way am i going to be able to play catch up when we pass the 50 mark!
just away to do my 23 now
Results:I'll be in the gym at 2pm today. This is what todays workout is. I'm sure it's got my 12 pull-ups covered. Ha!
Complete as many rounds as you can in thirty minutes of:
5 pull-ups
5 ring dips
10 push-ups
15 Sit-ups
You know, that's a good question. I really am not sure. I believe I inhale on the way up and exhale on the way down, ending my breathes at the to extremes of the ROM. It just feels natural to me. I haven't read anywhere anything regarding breathing and pull-ups. I would say don't even think about it and let your body just do it.i have a question: what is the correct breathing pattern for pull-ups?
when i've done them in the past i inhale at the bottom and exhale as i'm getting to the top. is this correct breathing technique?
