I always wondered who my mom was quoting when she told me that...during chastisement about being judgmental.

Thanks Mom! I'm still working on that!

Holy crap!!! This is gonna kick my butt, recycle me, then stomp on me again! Awesome!

The above quotation could easily be used as a preface to a Mitt Romney biography.

Cheers Kelly!

@#3. george bush.

There is a time and place for politicking, and bad mouthing. This not being the time, nor the place.

@3 & 5

...and about 95% of all the politicians on both sides of the aisle. Let's not overlook one and not the other...

"Use your abs to bring your legs up?"

I didn't know your abs did that?

I like to think that I can any WOD but I need to start this one now if I want to finish before the next one is posted!

Respect to all that get this one done. I'll probably enlist the help of a rubber band.

It'd be interesting to see if Kelly Moore's finishing time has improved 7+ years after the last time she did this WOD! :^)

Did the lunges with 95lb bar in front rack position from about a week or two ago today. Those are awesome. Also been enjoying ring push ups lately - coach - if you're listening - how about working some ring push ups into the WODS. they seem awful good.

Is Kelly still posting?

So could you do the 100 pullups an then do some sit-ups or some form of ab work afterwards? If you can't do the L?

100 deadhang L Pull-ups? i like the sound of this WOD.

I know I'm getting ready to get killed here but can anyone weigh in on how the L pull up is measurable or repeatable the standards seem very iffy...sorry just asking please be reasonable in response

Legs straight, toes pointed, arms fully extended at the bottom.
Used a kip to get the legs up on the first rep of each set.
Started with 7 (broken) reps per minute for the first 5 minutes. In the end I did doubles every 25 seconds. Never go to muscular failure.
Practiced headstand to handstand kips afterwards.

wow- this was hard and I even cheated ! I stood on a 12 " box and basically did these in sets of 5 before releasing my grip and shaking out, came back and put my toes on the box after each rep and kipped up to an L and did the pullup alternated 5 reps with underhand grip 5 reps with overhand grip and finished in an embarrassing 27:40. My grip was giving me fits near the end and even 5 rep sets were difficult to do with form remotly approaching a correct L orientation.
pretty humbling.

I did this last night, a little rainy, on a totally dark jungle gym metal monkey bars.
The rainy part kind of effected my grip, but it wasn't too bad.
I conciously broke them up into smaller sets to allow my rest/ break between working to be very little time. Less rest more work time is the key for me. If I go to failure, to get those extra couple reps will mean resting too much and then not being able to really push the whole time.
I rested for about 1 minute or so maybe 2 then did a D.U. ladder going from 5050 (5,10,15,20,..50) in 5:10
I need to slightly lengthen my jumprope I think.. I was o.k. if the sets were broken since it ws just a burner really. I normally can do lots of DUs unbroken but that number has gone down lately. I'm going to have to start back on working the DUs Post WOD I think.
For me, I was kind of leaning back a little bit when doing the L pullups, and I really did not feel my midline/ core too much. I was feeling it in my back mostly, even though I did a bunch of GHDs on my last workout.
