So sorry I’m missing this one…Just want to wish Koy a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
I didn’t finish the 13 pull-ups within the minute, but I finished them anyway and did the 14 burpees. I guess I only get to count through 12 burpees, though. Then 28 burpees for Koy’s birthday. I think I should have done the wall ball, instead.
It was nice seeing the morning crew and all the cute puppies!
Brian, don’t you mean Lucifer? ha ha! I can’t believe I thought that’s what Richard said his name was. Luke is much better! Good work this morning Brian!
Nice job ladies! I didn’t use a band for the sets of 1, 3, and 5, but switched to the purple band on the set of 7. I feel like one of the main limiting factors for me is the pain in my hands from the grip. I guess I need to get better at shaving my callouses down or learn to block out the pain.
@lindsey Awesome work! I definitely had the advantage of healed hands after some time off, @maggie on the other hand is a bad ass and was bleeding
Made it through 18 burpees, but didn’t attempt the next set of pullups since I had already lost 40% of the callouses on my hands =( Um…..ouch!!
You AM ladies rock – I’m still dreaming of the day when I can do a pullup with no band….

happy birthday, captain koy.
Great to see the dogs at the gym this morning. That Rott is a beast, Richard. Reminds me of the dog from Christmas Vacation. What was it’s name?
16 rounds, and 8 or 9 pullups into round 17. I was out of pullup fuel at that point.
Happy Birthday coach!

Thanks Lindsey, I wasn’t sure if I heard his name right or not.
I think the dog in christmas vacation was Snot or Snots.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOY!
10 rounds no band. 11 – 13 (10) 1 purple.
12 double unders in a row during free time
Awesome showing 6:30 am class, no bands all around for the first 8 rounds!!!!!
And then I ruined it by switching to the band, but that was still way more pullups than I’ve ever done. Happy Birthday Koy!
