* If you do not have access to a rope, to 4 towell pull-ups and 4 towell knees-to elbows per 15' rope climb.  To do these, hang the towell over a pull-up bar and then hold onto it like a rope.  Pull-up standard is to have your chin reach your fists.

This is a great WOD to get better at climbing the rope.  If you are not great at it, that shouldNOT prevent you from coming.  Instead, that should be the reason you climb out of bed and roll in at 0530.

CrossFit Friday on a Thursday

Team, due to our modified schedule and early start on Friday, we will be doing our CrossFit Friday WOD on Thursday.  Wanna see what it is?  Drum roll please....

"G.I. Jane"
100 burpee pull-ups for time

Ideally the pull-up bar is 1' above your reach when you stand with your arms extended overhead.  The idea is that you get a good jump and a full pull-up rather than grabbing the bad and doing a jumping pull-up.
