We all knew it was coming….those dreaded Chest to Bar pullups.  Or maybe those overhead squats are your nemesis.  All the negative, self doubting thoughts may be filling your head tonight to try and talk yourself out of doing this workout.  I hear alot of people already asking “Why even try if I can’t get into a full ROM squat, or even close to touching that pullup bar?”  My answer is because you never know.  We all learned from last Friday that those who were doubting their abilities with double unders, actually did more reps than they even believed they could.  They showed up, gave it their all, and performed some amazing feats and even surprised themselves of what they could do.  This week is no different.  You just have to ignore those voices in your head and see what happens.  Even if you have never gotten a chest to bar pullup, just try to get one rep.  If you fail, that is ok.  You will have a chance to perform the first 10 Overhead squats for an official score of 10 and then you can scale the rest of the workout how you normally would and see how far you can make it.  Use this as a baseline of where you are at this year for the Open so that when you sign up next year, you can compare and see how far you have come.  Don’t let fear stand in the way of your potential….there’s always a new PR waiting to happen.
