Butterfly!

Checked out CF Performance this morning in Fairfield. It's a half hour train ride away, but may really be worth it. Ben Kelly (coach) does a lot of video-replay, which showed me some depth problems in my heavier OHS, as well as some technical issues in my kips. Another trainer there, Melissa, showed me how to build up to a butterfly pull-up by circling myself under the bar, which was cool. You make bigger and bigger circles, and then you look up and realize you're right there. In a few minutes, I was getting a few butterflies in a row and it really seemed easy.

I didn't do any timed workout, just an OHS "test" -- 3 attempts for 15 reps:
120# x 10 (F on 11th try)
105 x 15
and something very light for another 15 to improve depth.

Then just worked on pull-ups.

I feel pretty good today, though it would have been nice to get some more sleep -- just over 6 hours last night, maybe? Eating better makes me feel better. This morning I had coffee and cream pre-workout, a cherry/date/almond bar post-workout, and this awesome delicious breakfast when I got home. 2 fried eggs + salsa, 1 strip bacon, 1 avocado:
