Thanks JP.
They are a good wko, and I'm finding you don't get hurt from high reps everyday. That's the only one I've found. You start to feel like an ape, no joke, your arms and hands feel like hooks. I checked the results at crossfit.com, some people really got up there in numbers. One thing i couldn't figure out is how they got such sore hands from pullups, unless it is from a mixture WOD they did and I didn't see it..

depending on the person, they might have been kipping the pullups which i find is a bit harder on the hands.

And, man, i hear ya. im so sad i dont have access to a pullup bar at the moment, im doing huge amounts of rows tho... But, i def could use a pull up bar (a door pullup bar is a big no no here supposely... Sad

) Cant wait for winter to end lol, so i can have some fun doing pullups everyday in the kid park lol. But, this summer i plan on shoveling alot and using it as a workout (will be like inverse-sledge hammer on a tire lol). Rocky-style training.

You got a lot further then I did, nice work.

People get sore hands from kipping, there's way more friction going on.

Thanks bigs. You got out quite a few also.

I haven't tried to use the kip much. They must be really pushing themselves to get out the numbers.

Crossfit WOD of the day today.

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.

WGT 190.0

13 min.'s almost made the 14 mark but my arms started giving out around the 12 mark. I'm shooting for 24 when I get down to 170lbs, maybe.

So it went

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13.....and 9. I think that totals a 100.

I also hiked out and hung a deer stand in a tree today at lunch, it was a bit of cardio.. It involved screwing in tree steps to get to the top, which is a good arm wko.

Nice man, more than double how far I made it!

I decided to try some power snatches today. I sure hope I didn't ruin my weekednd.

So the crossfit WOD called for 65lb power snatches....I loaded on 95lbs by accident...after years of lifitng I thought the bar weighed 15lbs today for some reason.

After 2 sets of 12 snatches and 10 pushups, I started to wonder if I had something wrong. 5 more sets and I was about falling down, my shirt was soaked with sweat, and the platform was covered in droplets.

Then I started adding up the weight...s#@#. I dropped it to 65lbs for one more set in the 20 minutes.

If I hold together I might start adding in some crossfit, as long as they don't have any running.

I like the comment section under each WOD on tcrossfit.com

Have a good weekend everybody. I'm headed to out for a weekend of hunting. It's going to be beautiful this weekend.

Man you did as many sets as I did but for 6 of them you had 30 more lbs on the bar! Nice!!

Funny that you are going hunting and it's beautiful - we are going to have a real shitty weekend so I am going to try to go hunting, best time out here is when it is pissing rain or snowing, if I am miserable, the deer will be to!

Isn't that the truth about the weather and deer movement. We've had so many days of crap weather. I just want to get out at sunrise and watch the rays light up all the ice crystals. If I see a few deer even better, I ran out of venison. Good uck this weekend.

BTW great work on the WOD today, I checked your out journal when I got on the board to see how you did.

WKO 30 min.s

Wgt 190.4 I felt lean today...but no loss.

Pullups 13,13,13,13,13,13,13, 9,9
ss
DB press 90lbs 5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5

Next Circuit
One Leg Calf Raise 4x25
SS
Machne Abducter 4x10

Good Morning 20 DB 1x15

I'm over 300 I think.

I was shaky in my knees from the snatches last week. I won't be doing that for with anything over 45lbs for a long time.

I shot 2 deer on Saturday evening, and I had to drag them out of the woods. It was a quad burning exercise, thats for sure. I got to spend a ton of time checking out the constellations while I was catching my breath. It was a great time.
