What is it with you people?

I have it on good authority that there were Kiwis at a Denny's last night.

:-) Now, Denny's is okay I guess . . . I suppose it's a known quantity.

True story(why do I say that? Makes you wonder about the ones that don't come with a disclaimer, right?): Told my wife that we ate at Denny's like every morning before the Crossfit Games. She said "Denny's? Why?"

So I told her about the cafe in the parking lot of the Motel Six and how I wasn't sure about it . . . until I saw it was where the Sheriff's department ate their breakfast. She said "You should have taken them there!!" She knows. It had the critical "local law enforcement seal of approval".

Pushups-Ring Dips-Push Press

Did the Brand X scale of

AMRAP 20 minutes:

15 pushups
12 ring dips
9 push press 115 lbs (scaled to 85 lbs)

4 rounds +15 push ups/12 ring dips/5 push press (5 rounds in 20:23)

Not the Brand X scaling . . . because I only had 85lbs for my new oly bar. So instead of more like a Pack WOD (95lbs for 20 min) or a Porch (15 min 115lbs), I was basically a big dog girl . . .

I can live with that . . . the big dog girls spanked my BUTT at the games . . . I mean you can see individual hand prints . . .

For instance, Julie (LRH) . . . did like 93 lbs (42.5kg) and did 4 rounds plus 15 press ups. So a touch behind, but more weight . . .

Pullup Bar

Here's the infamous "pullup bar of excessive whining . . . " Note: That cross beam is the main beam on my kids' swing set.

It wasn't a bad first effort. But two things are problematic: I can grab it while standing flat footed. I can kip, but every time I drag my toes on the ground seems to make me think I'm going to catch a toe. But that's not nearly the problem that having a 3/4 diameter pipe presents. It's just too small to get a good grip on. You can do a lot of pullups (deadhangs seem to be better), but it tends to pinch your hands from the get go, so grip actually seems to go fast, as does the skin on your hands . . . .

If the setup isn't clear it's this: flange plate on a 1" section of pipe, attached to an elbow, attached to the main pipe. This is secured to the 4x6 (actually two 2x6s) by an eye bolt through the 4x6.

I can think of a couple other ways to set this up, but input would be helpful to achieve two goals: Higher (6-8 inches would probably do the trick), and absolutely need to get a 1" section of pipe.

Deads

5x5x205

Went pretty good. Felt like I was maintaining form. Then again, don't we all?
