I have actually never done weighted pullups before, so I was pretty happy with my performance this morning. My weights were 15-20-25-30-35-35-25-25. Then I did 6 sets of 3 strict to finish. Not a bad way to start the morning. I'm off to Jersey.

Back squat 180 I think. 2x. Working on form. For some reason I don't feel very confident with these. And I am trying to start the Zone this week. Wish me luck! I will definitely need it!

great to be back in the gym with you all! the 6am crew looked as good as ever!
I did some tabata stuff, with 30 secs. in between exercises:
the row was murder after back extensions. i could barely keep my back tight!

Did back squats as well. I got up to 133x3, 142x4, and 155x2. (after I failed on the 155, I dropped down) I was very upset with myself. I felt like I should have gotten more weight. O well. More room for improvement, right? Great job this morning 6ers!

I had to drop out of the HSPU when I banged up my elbow attempting a muscle up :( That was ugly - I believe Alison is my witness on that one! So I have been a walking mess lately.....it happens, but I didn't do the HSPU's after that. Hope to see some improvement though anyways.......

My elbow is fine - took about a week to heal and bruising and swelling to go away. I was smart for a change and basically did leg workouts all week long - that sucked.

Hard luck Reba, at least it was for a good cause. Back squat - 223x3 PR/benchmark HSPU - 18 PR I did the HSPU when I got home from the gym, but before the challenge my max was 13, so progress.

Ben, Felt a little frightened after hearing Brandon grunting on his squats but was still able to crush my PR by 25 pounds. Weighted pullups 30 35 40 45 50 60 70 80 90 100 115 failed, up to my mouth

Actually Ben, it was more like screaming than grunting. Ahhhhh!!! That's what I was told anyway. It didn't seem that loud to me, but everyone's faces said it all. Nice job on the pullups everyone. :-)
Back Squat 3RM = 284lbs a definite PR! failed on 3rd rep at 289lbs... crap!

Back squats got to 173. Had to break up my last set into 1's. Couldn't go anywhere after my first one at 173!!
after, I did the bridge/sit up thing with Alison in 10:44.
Great work 530!!

I did back squats today too and worked up to 262 lb x 3. I barely made the second rep and without everyone encouraging me on then I wouldn't have made the third.
Afterwards I did the ab workout from yesterday with about 7 others. Thanks for timing Lindsey!!

it was nice to do a semi normal WOD for me today. ricky had me do: 5 Rounds: 10 reps Deadlift (used 119lbs) 20 reps Overhead Squat w/PVC
It was fun to do use semi heavy weight for the DL's. It's been awhile.
Good luck to all those training for the qualifier. You are all going to make everyone wish they could work out at Crossfit Omaha!! I was jelous to see everyone doing the back squats, as that is one of my favorites!!

First time getting weight up on the pullups... warmed up on the bands, then got up to a whopping 5 pounds. Failed at the nose on 7.5... Not a particularly impressive weight, but still exciting - strict pullups alone are tough for me.

Back Squats - 173# (3x). Pretty pleased. Good baseline anyway. Maybe could have done a tiny bit more weight, but glad to have stopped. D and I did situps/plank from Sunday. I had help from Damian, which was fun. :-) Thanks, Ricky for the encouragement!
