WOD 111708 Monday

100 Pull-ups for time 

Today is another potential record breaking day. On top of that, its also a day where everything can go ugly. Do not compromise your form of a good pull-up for the sake of time. It is possible that you can be going all over the world getting the ugliest form for the fastest time. Yes, it is always good to fight for time but remember that the overall goal here for each of you is to get better at what you are doing while keeping yourself injury free. Try to get full extension on the arms for every pull-up. For those who are yet to do a kipping pull-up, today is the day for you to learn it. For the rest, try to go for each pull-up at chest level. One again, try to not look like a headless chicken rushing for time today but instead maintain the right form that would make Jonathan proud. 

Here's a video taken from Crossfit showing Adrian Bozman of San Francisco Crossfit teaching the Kipping Pull-up.

Happy Belated Birthday Nigel Tay !


We apologize for the late wish. We were all so busy caught up with our own lives that we forgot about yours. Nigel here joined us in June and has been a great addition to the Pushmore family. A real comedian on his own, we always enjoy his jokes and playful antics. Even in between workouts, he always have time to slot in something that leaves with you that incredibly stupid what the heck face. Together with Joe, if the both of them could live in a mirror, they would have. 40% of their workout times are spent staring at themselves and complimenting each other. Despite this weakness,  Nigel is a stand up guy both in life and in workouts. We are all  encourage by the determination that you show each time you workout. Keep up that intensity! We hope you had a great day. Once again, Happy Birthday from all of us at Pushmore!
