We just had a recent flurry of personal bests in the last 24 hours and I want to acknowledge their awesome achievements.

Jessica hit a PR of 32 straight pull ups!!! This is without specifically working on them, haven’t done pull ups probably more than 3 times in the last month, and a previous PR of 16. Even more impressive is she has been able to shorten her kip and reduce her swing time on the bar, increasing her power output. Nice!

Garry started coming to us in the New Year and has been amazing to watch. No false grip controlled muscle up?! He just hit a PR of 30 straight pull ups as well. It is his first attempt at max pullups and we can’t wait to see where he goes from here. 50 will be the new 30 around here before you know it :)

Matt’s been hitting the pull ups hard, trying to get his kip smoothed. Well, the workout was max pull ups for 4 sets and he started out a little slow. 3rd set comes around and the wheels clicked on! Matt busts out 16 straight.

We had some big deadlift PR’s this morning from the ladies and Anton. Anton’s goal has been to get double body weight on the deadlift and he has been working the strength cycle for the past few weeks, getting stronger and approaching the milestone. He attempted this morning and broke on through with a 320 lift. Katie picked up 200 and Michelle, first time maxing out on DL, pulled up 175. 2 x BW is coming real soon for the ladies!

Finally, I like to personally thank everyone, especially all the new members, who have made the last few weeks so high energy and fun to teach! Keep up the hard sweating and your new PRs will be exciting to see.
