Pull ups Across the Pond

Or Not?

An attempt this week at the first of hopefully many coordinated "pull up" focused workouts with Blair Morrison from Anywherefit who is studying across the pond in Paris. A mishap with his access to the gym has us waiting until Monday to see Blair's numbers.....so all results will wait to be posted.

The Workout

For time. After each set, record time from row and record number of pull up reps. Add the total time from all rowing and subtract 2 seconds for each pull up completed.

Eric, Graham (from Balance Gym) and I did our best, but needless to say, there was much more pulling on the row machine then on the pull up bars. After the row, our arms were torched and just couldn't get much work done at all on the bars. It wasn't supposed to be easy though and some lessons were learned on this one for sure.

Blair's up now.....safe to say that there will be more pulling on the other side of the pond....just hoping he doesn't make us all look to bad!
