    I plan on doing this workout at 12 today. I'm going to try RX. I cannot do C2B pull ups but I will try.

    Well a disappointing 18.5 so far. I did my 3 thrusters and spent the remaining time trying to do a chest to bar. I even went back that evening to practice and I'm like 0-60 now. Each time I'm like 1-2 centimeters away for the bar. Literally that close. Monday I will do it again and this time go scaled with the kipping pull ups but still use the RX weight for the thrusters.

    I hope you guys are killing it.

    Redid the workout. I did RX weight and kipping pull-ups. I got a score of 61.

    Huzzah! I scaled down to ring rows for this. I can't do a pull up without a couple of thick bands, so he suggested I do ring rows so I can keep moving. I got 49 reps.

    It's been fun reading through everyone's workouts.

    Good job, you have to start from some where. I have been doing ring row work also to work on using my lats and exploding through the rings. This will hopefully help me with that last pull I need for chest to bar pull-ups.

    You seem to be on your way, keep it going. It's so weird, bc it looks like such an easy thing to do. Same with kipping pullups. I know they are difficult, but man, people make it look like nothing lol.
