Sumo deads etc.

Sumo Deadlift: 215x8x3
Pullup max test: 13
DB 1-arm rows: 80x5x3
Pistols: 2 per leg with 25lb plate (2nd on left leg was a partial)
Abs: 36 leg lifts, 45 crunches

Pretty good day. I decided on the spur of the moment to test my pullup max. I got two more than I have ever done before. I feel like I could do more if I was fresher since I have done pullup and chin ladders already this week and I am still feeling them a bit. My goal is to get 20 by the end of the year.

The pistols are coming along I guess. Some days are better than others for my left leg.

Snatches and such

It had been months since I did a snatch (because it is so damn cold outside) so I decided I would finally bite the bullet and bring a kettlebell to the gym. I dreaded doing this because I was afraid everyone would stare at me...and they did. It wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't hate it so much.

The snatches were a lot harder than they were a couple months ago.

24kg KB snatch: On the minute for 10 minutes, 5right/5left (100 total)
24kg KB press + pullup ladder: 5 of 3 (30 total pullups, 30 total presses per arm)
Pistols: 2 full reps out of 4 attempts on right, 4 attempts on left (so close!)
Abs: 40 crunches
