The following are not all time PRs but are definitely PRs from the last 2 years since i took up weightlifting and have now come back to a more general CF program.
Pullups old PR was 30 @ 82kg BW Current best 28 @ 97kg
Rowing - 2k old PR 7:10.2 Current best 7:12.4
Rowing - 5k last three efforts 20:22, 19:36.9, 19:23.2 (PR)
Expecting to get pretty good at rowing and upper body stuff since i can;t use my legs for heavy lifting at the moment

got my chin about 2-3 below the bar in a one-arm pullup attempt, after having 3 drinks, and my only warm-up being some serious reggae dancing.
i've been doing gymnastics training to prepare for climbing season (front lever progressions, weighted ring PUs) but i honestly think that the alcohol had something to do with it too. possibly the lowered inhibition. i don't really know how to explain it.

TGU with 105 lbs at 177bw on Saturday.
David-my one armed chin is still a year off if ever I am just to the point where I can control the first 3-5 inches of the negative portion, then I start accelerating down... Although maybe I'll try a couple of drink and dancing first, you never know
Great job Arden!

Did you possibly have people watching? I know any time I'm messing around with dunking, I get probably an inch and a half higher with an audience. Around three inches higher if there are attractive women in the group.

Ok you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
