    Great job on the DUs Elegra!
    I'm seeing the benefits of setting up my garage gym. Just PR'd my crossfit total back squat and press. Finally crossed the 600 barrier with 100/200/305! Been wanting to do that for ages.

    DUs finally clicked for me today. I've been able to do a DU for a few months now, but the only way I could string them is with a SU in between each DU, which made any WOD with DUs pure hell. Imagine doing WOD with 200 DUs (100 buy in and 100 buy out) and having to do twice as many SUs along with the DUs.

    Well the other day, while totally exhausted at the end of a WOD, I somehow did a couple DUs in a row, and one time even 4. Today we got to work on a weakness instead of doing a true strength workout. I was able to crank out 2 in a row DUs like they were singles and 3-4 were not too hard. I even hit 6 in a row once (I think I may have hit 7 but won't count it as a PR since I'm on sure). I think I finally have it down and just need to work on cleaning everything up and stringing more and more. Really excited.

    Awesome!
    Out of all my PR's the DU was the most satisfying - took me 2 years but damn I love smashing those babies out now.

    My problem is that I'd been doing SUs in the gym 5-6 days as part of my strength routine, and I'd gotten really fast. Breaking that muscle memory has been very hard.

    Surprised and happy that last night I attempted my first kipping HSPU, I did 3 or so and then my arms started buckling, haha. But I got 'em!

    Well, I just started back up after 2 years away from CF, so that is a victory of sorts in and of itself. I haven't died of rabdo neither, life is good.
