The Pull Up Club is in full swing (hardy-har)! Get your max reps, write it down, and then try again later (though you'll find that you want to try again sooner!). Winner (most improved) gets a prize! Please record final number by March 1 (the post-test will be in late Spring some time).
Crushing max reps is 70% form and 50% attitude. Notice Gretch's smooth (yet wildly aggressive) kip form...the combination of power, timing, and overall athleticism. As for attitude, don't wait for a sure-thing, take a risk and get on the bar. If you want to be in the "5" Club...then first you have to get 4 pullups. Before 4 you have to get 3 & 2...and to do that, you have to get 1 pullup...and in order to get 1 pullup...you just have to start! The number you "can't" get is the number you "won't" get (read as, "can't lived on won't street."). And always, always...rest while you work!
PS. Tuesday BW Innie/Outie: Box Jump, Ladder, PullUp, BC/Sprint, Pushup, Squat, Burpee, Dying Turtle, Swing, ToeTap/RingHop (w/speed round)

Awesome Gretchen! I hear that you,Jan & Lisa are the chicks to take notes from on the Kips! Hope to be able to do them one day.
If you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you can't. Either way will take you in that direction.
Or to quote a famous little green guy "Try not. Do or do not. There is not try."
To try to is attempt and fail. Why set out to try!
Trish, you'll be doing them before you know it! What more motivation do you need to get back to CF?
btw - I am still sore...
I'm noticing a little bias here, how come all the video clips of the pull-ups include only the women?
I guess because the guys can't do them.....;)
