Must see video here! Chris is a Level 2 Trainer, owns CF Park City, and is considered one of the top, top CF athletes (Games favorite this year, and he had over a one minute first place lead going into the last event at last year's games). Anyhooo- here are his 100 pull up attempts and his last attempt where he reaches a jaw-dropping 106!
Several have asked for the Risto weightlifting shoe info again, so here it is!
You can order them online through different distributors, but we just emailed Gwen Sisto (she and her husband created the shoes), and she sent them directly to us. There are lots of different brands out there, but we've loved ours and didn't have any "breaking in" period- just felt perfect right off the bat. They also got the nod from Coach B at our Oly Lifting Cert. :)
Lastly, Wednesday's classes did one of the Games' Last Chance Qualifier WOD's:
x3
10 DL (275/185)
50 DU (we subbed 30 BJ for those who aren't up to stringing together lots of DU)
*Congrats to Lake Millikan who did the WOD Rx'd! He said he worked the DU while in Florida, and it showed- completed 150, no problem!
*Welcome to Neil from CF South City who dropped in tonight for a workout! So nice to meet you! He has a mean DU- lightning speed, I tell you! :)
*For the skill, we worked up to a 1 rep max on the front squat. Nice depth and everyone fighting to keep the bar on the shoulders, elbows high, bar resting on the fingertips, and back more vertical (avoiding that forward lean!). Nice!
