    My best advice on the kippers is to watch the videos,but don't try them until you are somewhat fatigued. They just kind of happened for me one day during a workout. In the beginning, when your arms and legs are fresh you will have a tendency to shoot yourself into the chest to bar position and destroy your rythm. Wait until you are tired and then go for the butterfly. Last thought would be that your feet need to be in a position to be thrown down violently just as you reached lock out with your arms. Hope that helps. One more last thought, try and do some clapping pullups, it will help both your kipping and your muscle ups.

    WODoers: May be out of commision on some WODs for a bit. Blake and I played on his flag football team last night, both ways full contact for offensive and defensive lineman, and I mildly seperated my right shoulder. It was a hoot thought, I never lined up against anyone who didn't have sixty pounds on me or the would double me up with a guy with at least sixty pounds and another 200 pounder. I never even got winded. It was fun, but shoulder is definitely fucked up. Our quaterback was the starting QB for CU in 2000 and 2001 and we smoked the other team.

  2. Not RX'd, but it still worked me good. It's amazing how much heavier 115# Thrusters feel.

    Subbed 15 Towel Pull-ups for each round.

  3. Hey guys. I haven't done a real WOD in 9 days. I got sick AGAIN, my son has measles too, which is awful, fever forever, then it comes back, he can't sleep, etc. I was in Boston and NY too while I was sick. Did a tabata sort of WOD once in my room with lots of burpees the last day of the trip when I was finally not feeling like shit. I got bloodwork done to test my immune system (white blood cell count, kidney, liver, etc.) and it came out fine, so I guess it's just that I've been exposed to tons of stuff.

    I did this WOD, the idea was to sub 4 towel pullups for every ascent, so would have been 108 towel pullups. I did all 48 towel pullups in round one, and about 20 more in round two, but I was having to stand around so much waiting for my arms to recharge that I switched to normal pullups for the last 40 or so pullups.

    Took me like 22:30 ish. Stopped about 5 times to wrap more duct tape around the towel cos' I couldn't hang on to it.

    Missing a bunch of WODs and coming off of a sickness makes WOD'ing very hard. DL's tomorrow!

  4. Finally got caught up tonight. I subbed "ass to standing" rope climbs for the rope climb ascents and did the thrusters with 2 50# db's so that I didn't have to walk all the way across the gym between lifts. So, my WOD was:

    21 50# db thrusters
    25 ass to standing rope climbs

    15 thrusters / 15 a2s rc's
    9 thrusters / 9 a2s rc's

    TT = 24:38

    Forearms and biceps were (and still are) extremely wore out. This WOD was a tough mother even with my piss poor subs.

    Tuesday's WOD looks equally crippling. Looking forward to it!
