The elite class will be tomorrow at 4pm. I think when V gets back, it will also be on Sat. at 1:30. and then back to Thurs. night. at 7. I am all for the camaraderie and the challenge, but some of the 7 pm's suck. Lets see how the 4 pm goes. Nothing seems to work for everyone.
So the other thing that I am back on is the form issue. I think that we owe it to everone to correct form. An easy task when someone is not locking knees out on GHD sit-ups in the warm up, not so easy to get the balls to say it when they are not locking out on their thrusters or fully extending on the bottom of the pull-ups on a sub 5 minute (3 for some) Fran. But the truth of the matter is that shitty pull-ups (insert anything) helps perfect shitty pull-ups. We are building capacity for everything. I can't say that Harj was my favorite person yelling at me to get my pull-ups legit on the day that I went sub 10 on Helen (a big deal for me), but I was glad that she stopped them from getting worse. The harder that I I try now, the better that I will be pulling myself up a rock, or whatever. The true test of what our Fran, Helen, Nancy times mean is when we kick ass at other things.
Lastly, what the hell is up with the pull-up bar. Are the AM classes the only ones that complain about them. A couple of times we have had ing dips and pull ups in a WOD and had to wait while someone else was working. PLEASE COMPLAIN.
Ps. Sorry about the picture. It was just to stupid not to post. It is from the gymnastics studio at the end of the building. All I know is that if my kid went their, they would not go in that way.

I couldn't agree more Lance, on both legitimate form and new pull up bars. I have some ideas on a new configuration and will volunteer some time and possibly $$'s for materials to get this moving and/or done.
What sort of configuration do we want for the pull up bars? Definitely should be the next project. Good call on that one Lance.
First, thanks for rubbing in your much better Helen time than mine, but congrats on the time. Second, I'm all for getting the pull up bar situation resolved. That outside bar is fucking cold in the morning.
Nice Total by the way Jim...I know you are on something.
Thanks Jeromy. Protein, buddy, protein. Maybe some carbs, but nothing from the "back room". :-)
