The obstacle course was a fun challenge for some of the members from USCF this past weekend.  Check out more photos  www.uscrossfit.com/media/photos.php     

Skill: Pull-ups/ Max Pull Ups

“Red Bull Helen”
3 Rounds
400m lookout run (with wallball 16/20)
21 Deadlifts 225/155
12 Chest to Bar  Pullups (Coaches, have everyone do C2B pullups even if they have to use a bigger band or do jumping pullups. The goal should be to get everyone kipping better, regardless of scale.)

Do you know what your max pull-ups are?  What was your last "Helen" time?  You should be recording all your results.  This is often one of the most overlooked, yet crucial aspects of improving your performance. CrossFit's potency lies in the fact that everything we do is Observable, Measureable, and Repeatable.  We see incredible gains when athletes begin recording everything.  Instead of WORKING OUT, you start TRAINING.  Instead of trying to beat the OTHER athletes in the class, you will center your attention on improving YOUR scores.  Hold yourself to the highest standards possible in regards to range of motion, record everything, and watch your performance take off. Let’s set some records on Pull-ups and dial in the Chest to Bar today!  How many members will do 15 -20 max pull-ups today? I am saying 15 -20!  Let’s do it!

2. Hey everyone- check out some videos on you tube for kipping pull-ups- all classes will work skill work before WOD- 6 pm class will start promptly with a 10 -15 minute workshop on butterflys. Above comment: I think that is Caleb and Mark on the ropes - more than likely it would be CALEB:) - Hope you all have a great week at USCF!!

3. Hey everyone, that was pretty awesome today! Noon class was full-up and full of energy...saw some outstanding efforts by everyone on max pull-ups, including some new PRs, and a heroic effort by Brian 'Big-Time' Miller finishing up the WOD after a spectacular fall from the pull-up bar...had he not slipped off, I think he would have been right up there with Jeremy...tough but good WOD today Dan/Aly.
