Less than a year ago I could not do one single pull up, let alone adding weight. Today I did it.. with weight. It took some figuring out. I tried to do the W.O.D. (workout of the day) as recommended, with a dumbbell between my crossed feet but that didn't work out because I have to do what's called "kipping" in order to get myself up over that bar. Kipping is basically swinging my body forward before arching back then up over the bar. It is a bit more dynamic and gymnastic looking than what we're used to seeing in a strict or dead hang pull up. At first I kept dropping the dumbbell from my ankles so I ended up putting it in a backpack. I've come a long way baby..
Today's W.O.D. (workout of the day) from www.CrossFit.com was:
15 thrusters 15 weighted pull ups
12 thrusters 12 weighted pull ups
9 thrusters 9 weighted pull ups
