  1. I plan to do 6 pull-ups using a towel draped over the pull-up bar since I don't have a rope. Throwing that out there as a suggested sub if anyone has comments or better suggestions. I assume the no handed part is just going up the rope not back down. Tell me if I'm wrong on that part.

  2. 6 pull ups!? That's it? Lol I hate no feet rope climbs! U better make it 12! Lol

  3. I thought the old sub on mainpage was 15 pullups for each regular rope climb?

  5. 12-15 unbroken towel pullups will definitely be more accurate, i think. i'm going to start out with 15. we'll see how that plays.

  11. Yeah good points on the numbers. For some reason in my mind I was thinking about how many pulls it takes me to get up a rope when I do use my feet (prob 4-5). So 6 seemed like a good sub. Not sure why I had it that way in my head... Someone give some feedback on how many pulls it takes without feet once they do it. I think you guys are right and 12-15 is prob closer to right esp if using feet on the way down as per Ben's guidance. Thanks folks!

  12. Unstable bench. 155+70 (failed @ 245)
    The Empire 9.12 (no legs) Nothing like being in the bathroom when MDV gives the 3-2-1.
    Strict Press. 95# 15, 13
    Bent Over Rows/ Blue band pulls 135/155/135 (155s were questionable at the end)

    It was great to be able to stay and play with everyone after the WOD.

  13. Chris, I was explaining to Liz how when you first start each pull is getting you 8-12 inches, after the 3rd round I was lucky to be getting 6 inches on each pull. This whole post just does not sound right.

  20. Tried new home gym today.
    Did 185 3 rm two set on bench. No spotter or bands.
    95 for 15 reps and 12 reps on OH press
    135,155,155 superset with 26#kb bent over flyes instead of band pull aparts.
    No rope so did 5 strict pullups and for some reason had 15 push ups stuck in my head. I think it's because I workout so early today.
    11:26 for 8rft 5 strict pull ups and 15 HR push ups.
