Pullups can be beyond painful!!!

Today's CrossFit workout :

sprint 100 meters
12 kettle bell swings
10 pullups

How many rounds can you get in 20 minutes ?

I managed to get in 9 rounds - 7 before my hand split open and blood gushed out. I pushed through it, but after 9 rounds I stopped. I also had to take it easy on the sprints - I ran hard, but didn't sprint. Brendan and I did this workout together, and he got 12 rounds!! He's so amazing!! Anyway - if you get the cuts like I did putting chalk into the ripped skin helps stop the bleeding so you can continue - just a little tidbit!!! I know, gross....:) Posted by Picasa

Now you're looking like a gymnast!

Get a matching one on the other palm and you'll be all set.

Painful.... but let's be honest... it is cool and motivating to know that you can do that! Yeah, weird

Bob,
3:30 - cool. I will check it out. If you consider that to be a "speed demon" then I guess I am that. My best time was 3:26 something. I want a sub 3 so bad though!!! I don't think I will ever get it now - but I still want it. :)

CCF&D,
