-Negative
-Weighted
Golf outing and cook out this Sunday at Shoreline. Come by and hangout, help us celebrate 4 years!
20# DB for the pullups (3x5). I didn't get chin over bar legitimately on the last rep of any set, I don't think.
Same with pullups, did 2x5 then 3,1,1.
New instructor at 6am. Good to see ya Jimbo and you did a great job!
These felt good and is 5# over last time.
3 sets of 4 strict pullups also felt good; 6 in a row for one set is my current max.
Great job 6 am.!!! Great job to Jimbo too for leading the class!
I also echo previous comments from others regarding the CFO athletes that competed this past weekend at the World Crossfit Games. It is very inspiring/motivating to watch each of them perform. We had a great group of athletes represent CFO!!
I would love to see the team do the final workout as I think they would own it!
Then I did 1 strict pull-up followed by 3 very very slow negatives x 3 sets.
Great class and a great coach today at noon!!

worked up to 50# weighted Pull Ups for a set of 5.
Big noon class with a special appearance coach. Fun times.
8 reps of negatives
169 felt good and around 10# more than last time. Could go heavier, but I need to mentally get past that my 1rm is right under 200# and should be able to pick up more than that. I know I can 1x5 for more, but my 1r needs to increase too. I'm always stuck between 190-198, not sure if it's mental, my technique, or my back is effed.
Felt good with everything today. Thanks for being my partner in deadlift tonight Tessa and Regina :)
Much better job of keeping my weight balanced on the middle of my foot. Need to work on pushing my knees out during the initial pull.
The last time I did this was before strength class & was at 189#, so really happy with this. Felt really good.
Thanks for being a great partner, Hannah!
Decided to drop some weight from last time because my form was terrible, felt a lot more solid this time.
3x5 PU's w/ 50#
Everyone did a great job,Joe had an excellent discussion on the mechanics beforehand.

Pullups are a joke. Did 6 singles because I can't string any together.
