    3 minutes slower than my last go at it, but I was on the paralette bars last time. My ring dips were slow but the deadlifts were the worst part of this wod!

    Would like to start practicing dips with the bands so I can try them out in a workout. Also, I am having a hard time figuring out which band to use for pullups in workouts.

    Overall, great WOD 🙂

    1. Use a thicker band in the WODs then for the warm ups. From there worked your way down in band size.
      Ex
      med band warm up -> large band wod
      small band warm up -> med band wod
      1 warm up round with band and one with out -> med band wod
      no band for warm up -> no band/ or keep the med / small band close by for the wod.

      Personally I worked my way up to do 10 strict pull-ups without the band for a week or two before I started completing the wods without the bands. It’s something that takes time, that’s for sure.

      It worked for me, but I’m not saying it’s the right/only way.

      1. Thanks Trent. That’s what I have been doing but it always depends on how many we are expected to do. I’ve had WODs that I use the medium band and it’s too easy but have also had the opposite happen. I now set up two so I don’t get mad mid-wod. Thanks for the advice 🙂 great job today. Hope your hand are better.

    Could have had a bit faster time but I’m a wimp when it comes to hand “injures”. I made Elba run and get tape on Saturday when a chunk of skin ripped, and I only had 5 reps left for pull-ups. Today 10 reps in the first round of pull-ups and another chunk ripped, but no Elba..haha.

    On a side note/while I’m confessing my wimpiness, I am one hurting unit. I have a unexplained gash on my left wrist from Friday’s WOD, bruised my left knee cap from Saturday’s lunges, and more bruises to come on my left hip and right elbow from playing touch football yesterday. I never felt more alive…

    The ring dips where brutal. Was so tempted to go with 2 yellows but happy i stayed with the 1.

    Great job 6:45 group!

    405×1 (PR) … *happiness*

    WOD (sub MU for 21 pull-ups+ring dips) = 23:41

    Man, I am drained. I need to do these kind of workouts to get better, but geez I wish I didnt need to. Ring dips slowed me down a bit, as I figured they would, but not as bad as before. Also, no back problems! Small victories 🙂

    Good job everyone, kudos to all who muscled it up!

    What a tough WOD! I was totally gassed at the end, took me 15 minutes to start feeling normal (if there is such a thing). Great race at the end Bender 🙂

    Last time I did this wod in May, I had to do the last 2 sets of pull-ups on rings. Today I did all of them with the thick band, and my times was shorter, 17:17 vs. 18:37. Unfortunately I forgot to write my deadlift weight last time but today it was #115.
    Also during warm up I am using the red band now. Slow & steady progress.
