    Got mine on Sunday.

    Plate carrier w/ 3 loaded M4 mags & Camelbak on.

    About 50 minutes. Partitioned and jumping pullups at the end. Smoked.

    That is doing work. Your first 80 PUs were strict? And you did sets of 50 push ups? That is strong!

    I dont really do crossfit. Ive only done strict pull ups before, but there was no way i could do more than a couple at a time after around 80. Im also a little guy, 5'7" 130 lbs. Big props to those doing this partitioned. Y'all some beasts.

    Kipping or not. 100 pull ups is a ton of volume. Having done it twice inside 48 hrs I’m just happy my hands didn’t tear.

    Couldn't imagine doing it twice in 48hrs. Did 21 ,15, 9 squat snatch, pull-ups and had to do pull ups 1 at a time. Shoulders and back are toast

    Serious question- how did you keep your hands from tearing? I wear woddies and still tear with volume.

    Serious question from a non-crossfitter: Would a lat pull down/weighted pull up machine not be better once you get too tired to complete one pull-up(kipping or strict form)?

    ETA: By weighted pull up, I mean the weight assisted pull up/dip machine. Or substitute resistance band pull ups.

    If you need to modify, do it. It is not worth getting hurt over.

    Good question. I take really good care of mine by keeping my callouses shaved and by not over chalking. There's a fine line between too much grip/friction and not enough. Too much and the skin won't slide on the bar but your hands still turn. That's when you tear. Not enough/too slick and you can't hold on to the bar. I also switch my grip up during those high volume work outs. I'll reverse one hand for a set then the other etc. to change the contact points so one spot isn't getting hammered. And last I keep it to small sets. For something like Murph I'll go sets of 5 whether I can do more or not. I run a greater risk of tearing on something like "Helen" (400m run, 21 KBS, 12 Pull Ups for 3 rounds) by trying to hold on and go unbroken all 3 rounds.

    While we don't have the type of machines to which you are referring we do modify and scale pull ups for those who can't complete them all in a very similar fashion. It's one of the reason what we do works. We can scale/modify for any fitness/strength level and those people are working just as hard.
