  • joncoffey

    A: Continued progress on handstands. No 180s today. Frog stands, not so much.

    B: 9:33, 95# / green band

    Cash out (max plank hold): 3:08

    Coach Ryan Fashion Update: the hat is back following a brief hiatus

    • Sully

      I look forward to the Coach Ryan Fashion Updates, they are great.

  • TheOtherNick

    A: My HSPUs are getting better. I can actually do them (though I still need two abmats). Tomorrow’s scale should be interesting.

    B: 11.11; 95# / green band (green+blue for final 12).

    Max plank hold: 1.48

  • Sully

    Look at the path of the hips and the vertical torso. We will be discussing this tonight along with maintaining a tight core/back and a good front rack position.

    Why do I stress chin down and neutral neck on pull ups? Other than not cheating the full range of movement.

  • michelle_gr

    WTH! How are these 5:15 classes booked the whole week?!

  • Molly

    6:15am is full for the rest of the week! anyone not show up this morning? Wondering if people are still registered that don’t come

    • RyanCWoods

      Yes. We had a total of 10 people on the “Shit List” this morning for signing up but not showing up. A huge problem we are working to resolve. My recommendation is show up because I have yet to have a class where everybody shows up that they are registered for :)

  • Jeff D.

    A: After a handstand in front of a crowd in Amsterdam, I’ve finally gotten over my fear of being upside down. Sort of. Must be all those years of “swirlies” from the older kids in middle school.

    B: 95#, Green Band: 4:52

  • Michael S.

    6:37 – #95lbs, No band
    4:10 Row

  • Jason L

    8:41 -#85, Green band/green and blue/black
    Row: 4:28
    Still experimenting with proper weight/elastic

    • Sully

      The middle ground sounds like just the black band. If a workout is 21-15-9 you shouldn’t pick a band you can do 21 unbroken pull ups. Think 5 reps of strict pull ups on a band and break up the work sets, like 21 reps would be 5-5-5-4-2, the breaks are short. You want them to be hard to build strength but not so hard that all you can do is 1 or 2 at a time.

  • Matt L

    8:15 for the workout (using a blue band), 3:47 1000m row. Damn sully, that cash out was unexpectedly brutal. Well done

  • Hall C.

    i forgot to ask Sully about my time, but i think around 10mn.
    95lbs. no bands on pullups
    3:41 Row

  • Maria L

    5:10/53#/green, blue band. I think it’s time to move to lighter bands again! And a heavier weight on the front squat next time.

    5:39 on the 1000m row

  • Anthony A

    7:32 with blue band and 95 pounds. I haven’t been doing many strict pull ups lately, BIG difference…3:58 on the row, was doing WAY too many rows per second, Sully helped clear that up.

    Also working on flexibility with mobilitywod.com. It is really tough but it is definitely helping and I recommend it if its a problem area for you.

    Looking forward to tomorrow

    • Sully

      Stoked on the rowing improvement, even more stoked that you have started mobilitywod.com and that it is really helping
