The Great Pull-Up War: 3rd Inning


3rd Inning Rules:
  • 3 attempts
  • 5 minutes of rest between attempts
  • Hold: Jugs

We were looking forward to using holds other than jugs for this one, but my injury (detailed in the previous post) made me a bit wary. I didn't really think I would make up so much ground, but there you have it! No pictures of the proceedings this time, sorry (besides, how many cool pictures can you take of a dude hanging from huge holds anyway?).

During this Inning, I performed more pull-ups in one attempt than ever before: twenty-eight. It looks more impressive when you write it out, right?

Because I'm still easing back into climbing after my injury, I don't want to do any real hangboard work. I know that competitions strictly involving pulling on jugs can get boring, so The Great Pull-Up War has to go on hold until I feel completely comfortable. I'm probably being overly cautious here, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Thank goodness we still have a lot of summer left!

Don't worry, OGDV. I haven't forgotten about you, homie.
