Sleep is one of the most underrated tools to improve performance and recovery.

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual.

would there be anything equally difficult that i could sub for pull ups in attempts to preserve my already ripped hands (that keep ripping every time i extend them all the way)? i could just try to do them from my finger tips and do less kip… but besides that 🙂

I will admit that I was like “crap, it’s my birthday already!?” when I first read these posts. I clearly need more sleep.

Died on pull ups during 6th round.
Met Con- 11:00 with the 53# KB… Geez you morning peeps made that sound easy with those awesome times. My hamstrings weren’t jiving well with that KB.
Extra Credit- ran 5 x 200s during the next class with Reese and Ryan during their WOD. Since they were tired from the KBs, I could actually keep up with them 🙂
