Pull ups on the flat skinny bar in my house. determined grip for this bar is best if you leave out the palm. Monky grip pull ups? Mostly singles with a 4" jump to the bar, thus my time. Sets of two for the first 10 and a few scattered throughout.

HSPU. Work on depth.

Pull up nuances - a ramble

The range of my pull up skills has been increasing. In the last month or so I ahve been practicing Ring Pullups - kipping, Flat bar kipping pull ups (thick bar for skill transfer) and kipping on angle bracket (for rep increases), and have had a hard time getting kipped pull ups to work on my home bar.

In the past 2 weeks I have done a bunch of L Pull ups, which I am sure will not win prizes for form, but are bound to get better, forced myself to do flat bar pull ups in a long workout and worked kipping on the thin bar hanging in my hall way. This bar is about 1 inch in diameter and chrome. I use the spongy grips it came with. finally got some multiple UGLY kipped pull ups on it last week and yesterday I did a really ugly dead hang from totally full extension, including letting my shoulders drop into the active positions. This active position seems to help me start the pull up without putting all of the work on my arms/elbows. This morning I did 2 smooth ones and was very happy.

I got the idea from Mark who asked me why I do not activate my shoulders in the hang position. huh. who'd a thinked it?

Birthday Workout - 41 of stuff

It would be kind of punk not to do the big dawg of my very own workout:

LauraR: 41 reps for time
L-Pull Ups - slightly jumped (09:00)
Air Squats
Upside-down Shoulder Presses (HSPU) - ouch
Ring Dips - negatives
Air Squats
Ring Dips - was trashed so Andrea gave me a birthday present and said I could sub bench dips.

31:00

If I did the last set of ring dips maybe would have only added 5 more minutes.

If you want to help me celebrate, feel free to post your result here!

Practiced Ring Dips before class: 5 sets of 3 dips to ?? Depth. KatDawg checked the depth for me on a set and said it was good but I am not sure I am getting deep enough for "full credit" with GardDawg.

Birthday coming up

I am going to turn 41 on February 16th.

5 years ago I weight 171 pounds and wore size 16 jeans. I now weigh 150 pounds and my size 8 jeans are starting to get loose.

4 years ago it took me 12 minutes to run a mile. Now I am pissed because I can't break 9 minutes.

1 year ago it took me 13 minutes to do Fran. Now I am pissed because I haven't broken 6.

I can do handstand pushups.

I deadlifted 200# recently.

I just found a post from May 2005. I was only able to do 1 kipping pull up. I did 25 in a row 2 months ago.

I can power snatch 65#.

I did 20 pushups in a row. Finally.

Today I had to stop on the way to putting my son to bed because he impulsively dropped to the floor to do hollow rocks. And so I dropped and did a few myself.

CrossFit Rocks.

Monday - CrossPit Fran 7:11 (21-15-9 sprawl+4 pchs/Thrusters)

Run 1 mile: after the firt long lap, sprint log sides, jog short sides. 9:43
That was really hard to do 12 sprints. Again, I have nothing left for the jog between sprints. Next time I will just run it and see what's up.

Then CrossPit workout:

21-15-9
45# Thrusters
Sprawl + 4 punches

7:11
