I just thought I would try it. I try to kip a pull-up here and there, but I usually run into one of the following issues:
1. I get too excited about my swing and can't control it
2. My hands hurt from lifting something
3. My muscles are beat after a WOD
Today, there was some time for skill work between our SWOD and our CWOD at CFB, so I hoped up on the bar. Forward-back-up! My chin went over the bar! I was actually so surprised I thought it was an accident. So I got down, shook it out and hoped back up. Forward-back-up, forward-back-up!
I did not met my goal of 5 kipping pull-ups in a row. That is okay, it felt great. It felt even better when we started our CWOD:
3 Rounds for time of
35 Double Unders, 35 Sit-ups, 35 Squats
On my first round, I strung 25 double-unders together. The most I have ever done in a row, before today, was 9. Huge. I was the first woman in my class to finish with 9:16.
Sometimes it feels like the gains are not happening until you do a movement you have not tried in a while. Today I saw big gains. This gives me a shot of confidence going into tomorrow's Boston Militia player evaluations. I have met my 12-day challenge of catching a football 50+ times a day; I'm ready for the next step.
Here we go!
GO MER!!!! This is awesome news. You and your jacked arms are going to kick some serious butt tomorrow. Keep it up!!
