The strength work yesterday was push press 3-3-3+ at 70, 80 and then 90% of your single rep max. We followed up the strength work with this little metcon from Wild Bill's lab:
100 double unders
and then
3 rounds of:
15 pull-ups
15 overhead squats (40/30kg)
and then
100 double unders

I've never gone into a workout thinking "this is going to be easy", but the suck factor on this one couldn't have been planned....or COULD IT!? Dun dun DUUUUN! I had the pleasure of doing this workout with the 7PM class, and everyone did GREAT!
Congratulations to Kristen on her unassisted pull-ups! She's a sneaky one, as I didn't even realize that she could DO unassisted pull ups until last night!

For the record- I have short legs. And I lose control of these short legs after pull ups. I was also trying to countdown from 10 to 1. and count back up to 10.
Reverse stuff is hard!

Don't worry Jules, I'm in the same boat with you... I've had some pretty ugly, scorpion looking dismounts. My short stuff legs don't work well with the bands...
