Ok, folks, I’ve tried to NOT puke Cross Fit on you daily, but, I got a lot of questions about it, so, here is the latest news for me…I can do 75 kipping pull-ups with NO BANDS!!!
WHOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Yesterday, was technically a “make-up” day. Either we could choose the 10 minute Handstand Push-up workout (which we had done the day before) or could choose to do Cindy. Cindy is another very simple Cross Fit classic. It’s so simple that it’s crazy I’d never heard of it before now. For twenty minutes do repeats of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats. When I heard that was the workout, I knew I could do FIVE kipping pull-ups. What I didn’t know was how many sets of FIVE I could do. I just figured I would try the first few without the bands and just try it out….The good news is that I MADE IT. All sets of pull-ups with no bands. At the end I was doing only 2 or 3 at a time, but, I did them all!
The Results for Me are 15 Rounds in 20 minutes. That is with lots of breathing breaks and stops at the end for skin removal. Unfortunately, I had been neglecting my callouses and with this high number of pull-ups and I lost some skin. Yikes. But at the time, I was too stoked to be bummed about it. Lesson learned…soften callouses with pumice stone and very likely wear gloves!
So, YES, I am proud, skin tears and all. Just planning on preventing that in the future!
Anybody want to suggest products for my skin repair?
