Been waiting for a long block of pull-ups! Always fun to see improvement and I was feeling pretty good at 75 pull-ups 5 rounds in until I looked down at my hands… not a really bad tear but to prevent it from getting worse only ended up doing a couple strict in rounds 6 and 7. Stung like crazy washing my hands afterwards, too. I may need some taping techniques for the rest of the week!
went heavy on the KB swings – 24 KG. Felt good. Banded pull ups are…coming along, I guess. I’d do so many things for just ONE strict pull up.
Wow, Jane, 24 kg??!? Beast mode!!

Really awesome class with Coach Adri, she gave some great tips on kipping! She noticed I was bending my legs a little to avoid kicking the floor, and suggested I go to a higher bar. It was a little annoying getting up there, but it definitely helped me! If you’re 5’6″ or up, I recommend giving the higher bar a try.

The first half of the EMOM was fine, then around round 11 it got tougher. I did challenging ring rows (feet about halfway back in the rack) and subbed band pull-throughs. Thanks to Sara for tips on the flutter kicks, I was really struggling to stay hollow on those but keep my neck relaxed.
I wasn’t feeling 100% today, but glad I ended up coming.

Great kipping coaching from Adri, even though it still feels like I’m light years away from any type of unassisted pull-ups.

Felt pretty good on the band-assisted pull-ups until the 5th round. I could only get 5 so I switched to rings for last two. Used 35# KB which felt like the right amount of challenging.

My beau and I are out for a week. Hopefully we will get in some good hiking, kayaking, and biking to keep from being too shocked upon return!
