December 18, 2008


With a continuously running clock, do one pullup the first minute, two pullups the second minute, three pullups the third minute, and so on until you have reached your maximum.
NO bands. Substitute jumping pullups at a ratio of 3:1. Talk about motivation to learn how to do regular pullups...
Please note the holiday schedule, which will be in effect 12/24-1/1 (regular classes resume on 1/2). It is listed on the website- upper right corner, and posted at the gym.
Congrats to Jason A who shaved almost a full minute off his Fran time!!! 3:38 is his new time (4:23 was his last record). He is a freaking stud.

Well, that was quite a way to "jump start" the morning (kyuk, kyuk, kyuk! Oh, I got a million of 'em!). I got through round 12 before I started jumping. How many pullups and how many jumps are we doing? Here's a handy conversion scale:

RND---PU---JPU ^^ RND---PU---JPU
0001 0001 0003 | 0016 0136 0408
0002 0003 0009 | 0017 0153 0459
0003 0006 0018 | 0018 0171 0513
0004 0010 0030 | 0019 0190 0570
0005 0015 0045 | 0020 0210 0630
0006 0021 0063 | 0021 0231 0693
0007 0028 0084 | 0022 0253 0759
0008 0036 0108 | 0023 0276 0828
0009 0045 0135 | 0024 0300 0900
0010 0055 0165 | 0024 0324 0972
0011 0066 0198 | 0026 0350 1050
0012 0078 0234 | 0027 0377 1131
0013 0091 0273 | 0028 0405 1215
0014 0105 0315 | 0029 0434 1302
0015 0120 0360 | 0030 0464 1392

Me: PU-12 rnds (78)/JPU-13 thru 29 rnds (1158 jumps)

STOP LAUGHING AT MY CHART: I WAS SO WIRED FROM DOING ALL THOSE PULLUPS AND JUMPS I HAD TO DO SOMETHING BETWEEN 6:30 AND NOW! >:-(

Speaking as someone who knows, that's borderline obsessive compulsive. Are you sure a chalk monkey didn't put you up to this?

Borderline??? HA! I noticed that you avoided the letters "f, q, x, & z" in your last post, which contained the following other letter/punctuation references:

1 - , 1 - . 1 - ? 2 - ' 6 - a 2 - b 2 - c 3 - d 12 -e
1 - g 4 - h 6 - i 1 - j 4 - k 3 - l 3 - m 8 - n 11 -o
4 - p 4 - r 11 -s 6 - t 6 - u 2 - v 2 - w 3 - y

Any "reason"? Why not use "13" of any given letter, huh? Superstitious, huh? Huh? Huh?

Me: "borderline"? Indeed!

Mustafa, we're all worried. Did you ever see "A Beautiful Mind"? Remember how that ended up?

Uh, I don't think it's a chalk monkey that got him, Jenn. Sounds like a crack monkey to me!

Awesome workout today. Hoped I'd make it to 20 rnds, but maybe next time.

I'm working on some more fun group physical challenge outings for 2009 everybody, but I'll keep 'em to myself for now... Until then, feel free to go post a comment on MY BLOG today. (nice plug, eh?)
