Use the gravitron, but have a plan.  You can still use the machine.  On occasion do ring rows/smith machine rows.  Keep working at getting the pullup.

TP

Okay.  I’ve been lowering the resistance, so I think I’m on the right track.  I also keep trying on the regular pull-up bar to get even one.  Not there yet.

Thanks again.

CFWU

WOD: With a continously running clock do 1 Pullup in the first minute, 2 in the second and so on

I got to minute 6, and dropped at 4 Pull Ups into a try for 7 for 25 Pullups.  Did the first 4 minutes w/o assistance, then had to use the band.

Death by Pullups…

Puppy today, using beginner pull ups. 

14 rounds + 9.

death by pullup
i got to 7 without jumping pullups then
i went up to 10 with kipping and jumping combined
then i went back down to 1 with kipping and jumping combined
so 20 minutes total

CFWU - light on the pull-ups

Death by Pull-Ups: 13 rounds + 6 pull-ups

Are you guys recovered from Linda? I couldn’t get up this morning! My lower back is killing me. I’m waiting till later today to do the pullups but damn, Linda messed me up! That should be a WOD before the rest day.

Totally.  Yesterday was our first date.  She is a cruel mistress indeed. 

 

But I miss her already….

It’s weird that I’m comforted by the fact that others are in pain too.

‘Karabel’

power snatch version, 95# - 15:35
0:49,1:03,1:21,1:31,1:44,1:39,1:59,1:57,1:55,1:37

apparently, with a very inefficient donkey kick

Quick question regarding “Linda.”

      10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the triplet:

      Deadlift: 1 1/2 body weight
      Bench press: body weight
      Clean: 3/4 body weight

I have to scale this WOD and want to get the same weight stimulus.  How would the Rxed weights compare to a 1 rep max for each exercise?

Row 5’
3 sets DL, 10 x 90
Dumbbell swing:
10 x 20 #
10 x 30 #
10 x 45 #

GHD situps / back extensions:

26 / 20
26 / 20
20 / 20

16 minutes

None of my muscles are too sore, but everything is tired. Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow.

I dunno.  What weight can you lift 55 times in each category?

This thing self punishes.  Either it’s very heavy and you keep plodding and eventually finish all the while crying inside.

OR it’s not very heavy and your heart pounds so fast that you emit a fine red mist wherever you stop.

You can’t go right with this wod no matter how you try . . .

Ha ha!  Okay, so I’ll just pick a percentage to apply to them all and run with it.

Death by Pull Up

Warm Up
2 Rounds
10x Double Unders
10x GHD
10x Good Mornings 75#

Workout:
15 Minutes +10 more in the 16th minute
Kept the pull-ups strict until 10th round, that’s when the incomplete sets started too.  Coincidence?

Cash Out:
10x 45# OHS
10x 95# OHS
Climbed 85 step (8 floors) twice

Death by pullups, 11 rounds exactly on the start of next minute. That is 66 pullups in 11 minutes, feels good for me And enough, the last two rounds were severely broken, made like 3 or 2 in a row and little bit rest and 2 more, and with the last pullup I nearly fell of the bar :D

And I remembered to do this WOD over broken glass and rusty nails :D

I’m with you.  I think it help rationalize that we are all mortal, and that the suffering in our own lives being mirrored through others validates our existence and our connection to the universe.  The interconnectedness of all things brings us a spirit of togetherness, a common thread, a way to see we are all truly one, a collective soul, if you will, with shared history, present and future, all leading to a spiritual awakening only dreamed of by philosophers and poets across time as they struggle to come to grips with the enormity of the cosmos.

Or maybe it’s just that misery loves company.  Either way.
