    Wicked cool video.

    Rob- I wasn’t aware that we were able to do all of the KBs and pull ups unbroken. Last time I did Helen I thought it was mandatory that my hands come off the bar at least 5 times a set. Ok- no worries, I will know better next time ;) .

    Also- I’m considering buying that bikini-top-thingy that Carey is wearing. Maybe that’ll make me go faster. That’s probably what’s been holding me back this whole time!

    Ok. So I’ve watched Lance’s last round of pull-ups about five times now and he definitely only did 11. He’s an animal though. Here’s another classic Crossfit Helen video for inspiration:

    WOW Ryan, Rob and Nichole- great times and PRs!!!

    No gym today, but I participated in fitness at rugby practice today-

    Buy in: max squats in 1 minute (54)
    Then on the minute for 10 cycles- 40 yd shuttle run (there and back) + 5 squats + 5 push ups. I typically had about 30 seconds to rest each cycle before the minute was up.
    Cash out: max squats in 1 minute (51)
