WOD
Pull-ups - 1 Set of Max Reps

For the pull-ups, you get one attempt to get as many reps as possible without coming off the bar. I would rather it be one continuous set but as long as you don't come off the bar, we'll count the reps.

followed by,

8 rounds for time of:
7 Handstand Pushups
7 Hang Power Cleans (115#/77#)

The hang power clean is from the standing position with no squat. The only allowable scale for hspu's is with the use of bands. Head to floor is your only option.

Post how many pull-ups you got and met-con time to comments/logwod.

  2. Breatharian? Never met one, going to go out on a limb and say I will never meet one, you know because of the whole not eating thing which leads to a whole not living thing.

  4. Don't have time to read this right now but will have to get around to it since I spent 4 years as a vegetarian and 2 as a vegan. Now, I almost feel bad about admitting it.

  6. I'm Mr Mom this week so it's going to be tuff to get to the gym. This one looks fun so I'm going to shoot for the noon class. Maybe interesting is a better word for 56 HSPU.

  8. Got 18 pullups. I got 13 in a row, hung from bar and got 2 more, then hung from bar again and got 2 more, and hung on to squeak out 1 more before losing grip.

    Did HSPU's using bands and Rx'd on hang cleans. I finished in 16:58. After the first couple rounds of HSPU's I didn't struggle as much to get my feet wrapped around the band. There was a lot of encouragement from everyone around the HSPU/band area.

    Great job 6 a.m. crew!!

  10. Today was a great workout and everyone was working hard and helping each other. It was cool to see that.
    I got in 24 pull-ups. I really wanted 30 though. Then DNF the met-con. I finished 6 full rounds + 3 HSPU's when time ran out. I'm happy with that. I did full ROM with all the one's I did. Thanks for the encoiragement on our end guys: Nice work.

  12. Great Job 6am ! Congratulations to all those working on HSPU skills and pushing themselves to do something totaly uncomfortable.

    26 pullups, #88 for cleans and bands for HSPU
  13. Greg MO Says:
  14. pullups= 23
    metcon= 13:33 rxd

    Sure I missed some but I counted 36 pullups that my neck actually touched the bar, Amanda did not agree. If my chin is outstretched but my neck still touches the bar does that rep still count? Apparently judges in Aromas agreed that this was ok since they counted 33 reps in my 1st max rep pullup attempt during team WOD #3 of the games. Today's attempt felt a lot better & stronger but only 23?... Guess i just need to go C2B if i want reps to count from now on...metcon was really tuff, shoulders were shot after 1st 2 sets, really tried 2 get legit HSPUs so i ended up re-doing at least 10 of them...

    Great to see every1 working hard on developing HSPUs this morning, way to work!!!

  16. I tried pull-ups with no band and got a big 0, but I am getting closer. I nearly got my head to the bar which is way closer than even two weeks ago.

    I used bands for the HSPU's, ick. I had used them only once before, doing only a few. This was the first time I did a large number using bands.I finished 6 rounds and was working on the seventh when the 20 min. were up.

    Great work everyone today. Lots of people helping others get upside down.
  17. paul Says:
  18. 31 pullups, scaled metcon to 4 HSPU negatives and finished in 14:15.
  19. Jess Says:
  20. Pull-ups (1 rep max): 12 with tan band

    Metcon:DNF

    I had never used the bands for HSPUs...that wasn't fun. I think I spent more time wrapped up in the band than actually working out. Thank you so much for all the help this morning...Greg P and Rob. I am sooooo very sorry for kicking you, Amanda.

    Great job 6am peeps. :u)

  22. 13 PUs - I don't think this is a PR for me, but it gives me room to work on! did the first 8 in a row, and then had to start breaking it up into 1-2 at a time.
    77# cleans, HS holds and DB presses w/ 20#
    - 15:49. I can't wait for the day when I can do a HSPU rx'd!!! I still have lots of work to do on making that day come!

    big noon class today ~ awesome to see so many athletes together!
  23. Eric C Says:
  24. 32 Pullups. (I counted 34, so a couple must have been bad). Went as Rx'd on the HSPU's and got 6 full rounds + 3. I even did 2 over b/c I was falling off the wall. I would have finished all rounds if I wouldn't have waited until round 6 to start kipping. Those things are AWESOME!

    I'm out for the rest of the week.

    VEGAS BABY! VEGAS!
  25. linds Says:
  26. 22 pullups
    Metcon: DNF in 20mins, completed 5 rounds and 1 HSPU Rx'd. Huge class at noon today!
  27. Chad Says:
  28. 2 pullups with no band (its nice to finally be able to see over the bar).

    DNF on the metcon. I used 110#. All the 2 1/2s were gone and I was too much of a wuss to use 5s. I also scaled the HSPUs to 7 second holds and 7 db presses at 40#. I made it through 5 rounds.
  29. BC Says:
  30. 20 pullups, really thought I could get more but it wasn't happening today.

    That metcon was just freaking redonkulous, and not in a good way. I don't even know how to describe what I was doing other than to say DNF. Blah, not sure if I want to see that ever again.

  32. A QUICK NOTE ABOUT FIGHT GONE BAD!

    This may seem repetitive but we want to make sure everyone is on the same page, as we're doing things a little differently this year. If you plan on participating in FGB on Sept 26th (which you definitely should 'cause it's freakin' awesome) you MUST REGISTER by selecting a t-shirt size and then clicking on the Pay Now button, all of which is located under the FGB banner in the grey column in the center of this page. This $25 is your entry fee, which will go towards the CrossFit Omaha total contribution to the 2 charities involved. Your $25 entry fee gets you a spot in the event and also gets you a super-sweet CFO/FGB t-shirt designed by our own Jen Shannon, making you the envy of everyone you know...more than you already are. If you've already created your own donation page that's awesome, but you still have to register here - this tells us how many people are competing and how many shirts we need.

    If you have any questions at all please ask around. This really is a great event for a very worthy cause, and afterwards we'll have one of our famous CFO potluck picnics.

    Thanks for reading this incredibly long post and sign up now, the deadline is this Saturday!

  34. Pullups - 20 .. (BC, I think we're becoming twins - this is the second day in a row we got identical numbers.) Think I had a few more in me, but the damn kip makes me have to pee, and that messes up my head.

    Metcon - 16:36? (I need to start writing these down.. I can't keep track of two numbers at a time, apparently) Tan and purple bands on HSPU. Ow. HPC felt great, but not enough rest between HSPU.
  35. Paula Says:
  36. 3 Pullups- First time with NO BANDS!! I'm so pumped!!

    Metcon- 18:22- #77 Cleans and HS holds with #20 DB presses sitting on the floor.

    Awesome job 4:30!!
  37. B3nj4m1n Says:
  38. 36 pullups, and only 6.5 rounds on the metcon which equals DNF. My HSPUs felt pretty good until just as time ran out Ricky showed me I was doing them wrong. Great job 4:30!
  39. BigD Says:
  40. Got 15 on the pullups. Crappy but my left shoulder blade was killing me today. No excuses though. I'll nail 30 next time we max on them. Who wants to take bets. Speaking of bets, her Eric, while you're in Vegas, drop 20 on my Buckeyes for me. I'm good for it!
    DNF on the metcon. Scaled to holding my handstand for 7 seconds or doing 7 attempts plus strict db press with 40# dbs. As RX'd on the cleans. First set I got the handstand for 7 seconds. Next set not so much. Really need to work these. Great job 6AMers! Lot's of folks killin' it!
