  1. CW: 14:20 band assisted dips (blue, then green,) 70# push presses, DU attempts. Thanks to Michael and Kirsten at Spartan Crossfit for the band idea. I got about 1/2 to 2/3 of the DU, but I was only able to string together 2 in a row a couple of times. I'll keep working at it. 70# seemed light; push presses were the easiest part. Maybe I haven't truly reached my 1RM for that yet.

    Congratulations to Peter on getting pistols! Way to go!

  2. awesome Pete! good looking pistols. Strung together 5+ DUs, but can't consistently find the rhythm. Just more practice. PPs did feel good at 55#.
