75 Freakin' kips!!!! I am really excited I pulled this off. Sure my time was slow, and my pushups were too saggy, but I hit my goal of 5 linked kips 1 week ahead of time, did 60 more pull-ups, and did other work on top of it.

I think I've hit on a new trick for my air squats too. My biggest form break down on my squat are my knees tendency to cave or wobble in and out while I run through the ROM. My new trick is to squat with hands together and elbow out setting a width gauge for my knees. That helps me have a tactile correction on each rep if I'm caving and also helps me focus on where my knees are at various points in the ROM.


I also just realized that very soon I will be able to make a serious go at Fran (the holy grail benchmark WOD, even if it is over-hyped a bit). I think once I can link 10, Fran will start to be a truely valid benchmark for my capacity.
