Jan….I’m with you on watching those videos. I watched I think every freaking kipping pull-up video and demo on the CrossFit website. Then I dreamt about them…then I visualized myself doing them. I’m so mental…

Now, I’ve been studying all the videos on the Crossfit website on muscle ups. I haven’t “told” myself that I can do them…I’m not convinced I’m strong enough. But, I’m learning….I’m doing my studying! One of these days I’ll move onto the “dreaming about them” stage. Maybe…

When I was intent on learning kips, I watched that kip video about 15 times – and I’d pause-play-pause-play on the blonde lady to see exactly what she was doing. Then, it was just one atta time, then 2 atta time, then 3… Let’s get some more ladies off the bands and jump pull-ups! You’re all strong enough!

JJ: Sometimes I wonder if I don’t like certain exercises b/c I can’t do them or if I can’t do them b/c I don’t like them. Chickens-n-eggs. Most days, just need to get over my ‘self’ and GID.

You are absolved. Do 5 pullups at class tomorrow as your penance.

If you have not watched the “Kip post” please do so…I watched it several times because it represents what is possible with good form and practice…the girl in the middle did 28 consecutively and the guy on the left was over 40, and still going STRONG…and to think Pags did 49 of those in a row, and I am guessing there are others at CF who can string together a bunch of them too…I’m envious and it does provide some motivation to want to be able to achieve some success with kipping, but I will be honest, I don’t like doing them and have never like doing pullups or kips, period. And one cannot be successful at something if one is not mentally committed to at least practicing them, something at this point I am not (that’s why I would never write them down as a goal). I do have some “mechanical” issues due to an injury, but that is just an excuse not to do them, I reckon there is a way to overcome that, but I will not until I get past the fact that I don’t like doing them. Anyway, there is my “confession” for the day…LOL…!

What’s really disgusting is the money these companies spend marketing this trash to our kids. What’s comforting is that even if parents are strong enough to resist the begging and deny their kids access to fast food, they can still get the same quality meals through the school lunch program. Unbelievable.

“Generally recognized as safe”…WTF?

Makes you wonder what they are using now if the pink slime isn’t used. Somehow I doubt they are using more real beef.
