14. Olympic Max... I've just been feeling off lately
    
    Snatch - Only hit 209... but missed four along the way
    Clean and Jerk - 258... No Misses but my pull under the bar is still no timing right
    Front Squat - 6X2 (Unloaded)
    - Decided to use a mini bands double wrapped and worked up to a moderate double where there was no sticking point... Hit 115# + Bands
    
    Messed around with muscle ups... Trying to learn to either do them without false gripping or learning how to turn out with a false grip..

16. Brain Fart!
    
    I was on my 32nd pullup when I realized that it wasn't 50 as RX'd!
    
    7:42 as RX'd + 2 : )

18. 8:26, B, blue band
    I feel like an idiot doing pullups, its really frustrating.

20. jackie is a sneaky bitch, thought I could tackle her but i had 5 pullups left when time was called...too controlled on the thrusters and should've pushed them harder...next time i'll know better :-) the row felt good though, kept a 2:05 pace. good work 6:30!

22. 7:35 option B.
    
    FYI kids, the Fostersens' bachelor/bachelorette party is set for Sept 18. Save the date, more info to come. (hint - If you're going to become true dodgeballers, then you've got to learn the five d's of dodgeball: dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!)

24. 6:30 rocked tonight. 1st WOD i've done since last tuesday. had to take a mental and physical break. wasn't sure if this was a good one to come back to, but what WOD is! lol!
    
    i was going do option B, but with a little pushing from jimbo ended up going rx'd. row went better than i though, thrusters ok, and had 11 pullups left when time was called.
    
    finished 10:58. very satisfied with that.

26. Yah GDawg, she is a sneaky bitch! And Jimbo is a sneaky bastard. 'just pick up the bar and do 10 thrusters then u can rest' after dragging my carcass of the rower. Rep'd out 15 from there. SNEAKY GOOD.
    
    8:33 rx'd
    
    Nice job Nick and Tovar. You guys smoked it!
    Good job the rest of the 6:30PM ers. Thanks for letting me visit! GREAT GROUP!

28. Keep your head up Chip. You'll have those stinkin pullups figured out in no time. And I think it's safe to say that most of us at CFO are a little idiotic.... after all we continue to come back every week for more crossfit pain don't we. :)

30. Several points:
    
    1) Chip - Few things make you feel more idiotic than learning kipping pullups. When you get them, though, you'll feel like a genius.
    
    2) Speaking of feeling like an idiot, I practiced the butterfly kip after strength class. Thanks, Justin, for the tips! Definitely got a lot closer.
    
    3) Jimbo = evil genius
    
    4) BC - Party is on the official Kahrs Puppy Pals calendar, against my better judgment. (But when has that ever stopped me? For instance, when I admitted in a public forum to owning and using a Puppy Pals calendar... )
