After watching the release on Thursday night with the crew. I went home and thought, “you knew those pesky chest to bar pull ups were coming”. I knew I had to take care of my hands and move fast on the overhead squats to give me time for the pull ups (weakness…major weakness…yes I’m working on it).
Friday came and I set out to do the workout on Friday at 1pm with my normal crew. I set up my bar and pull up station very close so transition would be quick. I also wore grips on my hands to prevent from tearing…I’m a wuss when I tear. I also set up to boxes to straddle so I wouldn’t have to drop all the way down off the pull up bar. I just touched my chest and then back to the box. I also had the cutest camera guy this side of the Mississippi…Mr. Rabah Rahil with Rabah Rahil Photography doing my video.
It started with OHS then to pull ups and back to OHS…The first couple of rounds were not to bad, because I got rest. Then when the finish of 14 came and I had to walk right over to my bar and start squatting I knew it was “go time”. I stayed with my plan until the last bit, then it was just doubles. I don’t think I ever did a single…but I could be wrong. I finished with a score of 196….thats into the 2nd round of 16 C2B pull ups. ugh. I knew that wasn’t what I needed. I wanted 200 like Kantola.
I knew I was going to have to redo that one. So on Saturday I realized I could join some other girls at 10am on Monday to redo 14.2. I did and same set up…I just had a different camera person…and I moved faster on my OHS so I had more time at the bar. I was able to get 3 more reps making my score a 199. YES I’m glad I redid it…however fingers crossed that is the ONLY one I will have to redo.
Bring it on 14.3…
