Yes, It's another Pullup tirade!!

ARGHH!!!!  Son of  scum sucking, lint licking, two bellied frog!

Ok - melodramatic enough??  Here's the thing - I'm a big denier - I can deny anything until it suddenly comes up and slaps me in the face.    Well, I've been suppressing my anger and frustration with these pullups - although, I'm sure some people would say, not very well.  I try to come up with a nice rational plan, but when something like today comes up and gives me a big swift kick in the gut - that denial pimple pops!

 I know - some of you are probably saying to yourself "Really?? This again??"  But, I am annoyed, and I'm just gonna say it.  I'm not a weak girl......I may not be the strongest in the world, but I don't think I'm weak, so why is the stupid-ass pullup the hardest thing on the planet??  It's a bit assinine and ridiculous.   It probably wouldn't annoy me so much if it didn't screw up all my other stuff.

So - you're asking yourself, sheesh, what brought on this tirade??  I'll tell ya.  Fran did. 

Last time I did Fran - I finished in 6:26, this time, 9:18 - almost a full 3 minutes longer - or 50% longer.  Well, were the modifications different??  The only modification was the bar I was on.  I was not on the low bar, I was on the high bar, still in the stinkin' red bands....  Big whoop!  Ok - rationally, yes they are harder on the high bar, but 3 minutes harder?????  REALLY????  ....and what is this new thing I have going on, where I have to pause and take a big breath before actually doing the pullup??? Where is that coming from??  ARGHHH!!! GRRRRR!!!! ......and a bunch of other not so nice words!

Now, onto nicer things....the Thrusters - 65lbs - no problemo.  Criminy if Fran were Thrusters and.....well, almost anything but those stupid, sumbitch pullups, it would be downright pleasant!  So - long story short, thank you to my sad attempts at doing pullups, my time sucked wind, and I ended up adding alot to my previous time.  I really wouldn't have an issue with it, if I could actually DO a real pullup!!

Ok...enough with the pullup frenzy I seem to have worked myself into.

Onto more pleasant things....yesterday.

Renegade Rows - 7 sets of 10 - 3 count.

This one must be like I imagine childbirth is, I forgot the painful aspects to it.

I did mostly dumbbells, one set with Kettlebells.  20lb/25lb/12kg KB/30lb/35lb/35lb/20lb.

Hard...all I'm gonna say - much more difficult than I recalled.  I think my biceps were full on Arnold size - scared the hell out of me!!  See - if I can grow Arnold like biceps, why can't I do a freaking pullup???  

evil evil pullups.............miserable rat bastards........
