After a few second thoughts I chose not to post today's numbers. Granted it was a valiant effort by all but I think the subjective nature of the movement renders it ineffective as a true gauge. We have to learn how to discriminate between a training workout and a performance workout. Doing fran for example is a performance workout but doing today's wod or the one we did last week with all of the hspu's and pullups was a training session. It behooves you to get as much as you can out of the training wods so you get stronger for the performance or gauge wods. Some people did up to 200 mediocre L-pullups while others did 100 good L-pullups. I use the term good because it is difficult to achieve a perfect L shape unless you are a gymnast; however, we can loosley define perfect, acceptable, or good as a person's maximum L shape given his or her physical limitations. This may even be a K shape but he or she can't go any further into the L position. Only you know your limits; hence, the subjective nature of the movement. It is bad for performance but great for training. I guess the numbers, despite their extreme range, will all come out in the wash. If one person did 200 and another only 100 it would logically follow that the former could do more total pullups on a max rep effort. We are going to incorporate more tests in order to put these workouts in perspective. It will also reveal who is maximizing their training. If you posted some huge numbers today but get beat by someone who posted less during a max rep attempt you might want to go back to the drawing board and rethink your approach. Get ready for max pullups next week among other things. On an admin note: make sure to put your equipment away. For example, if you construct a pull up apparatus because you come in late make sure to put it away before leaving for the night. Heavy tomorrow.
