I went to the Box this morning to see Katie (katiesmindlessramblings_DOT_blogspot_DOT_com)from Crossfit Old Town, do some pullups and take some pictures. Check out some of the pics here. http://flickr.com/photos/crossfitvirtuosity/
Good seeing Jacinto and the crew again!

Jeff, would you really like me to answer that question? I think you could probably guess my answer based on my largely sarcastic nature... ;)

BW 164
Did all 7 sets with 40kg.
Thats all the weight I had to play with at home. Wasn't sure if my doorgym pullup bar could handle the extra weight but it was fine. All overhand
@BBB
24kg = 52.8#
24kg + 25# = 77.8#
32kg + 10# = 80.4#
32kg + 25# = 95.4#
32kg + 35# = 105.4# (PR, just a little over 2/3 bw)
32kg + 40# = FAIL
32kg + 35# = FAIL
Reps were not chest to bar, and there was some serious neck craning going on to get the bar to the underside of my chin.
Also did some benching. Btw, did you guys realize that we can bench in Brooklyn? Topped out at 245# (PR tie, a little over 1.5 bw), a weight I haven't done in maybe 5 years.
Did the pushing WOD yesterday.
Modifications: AMRAP 10 minutes, bar dips
