Nice work.... I can only salute anyone who can do ring dips at all, the only times I've tried them it has been a spectacular, comical splattering failure :oops: :nod:.

Hope the first day back wasn't too much of a shock

[bigdogbob]

Thanks TFB, two days down and still standing!!!

Tonight was a hard and intense one but I went too light and now I'm mad with me

(rx= M 70kg, W 45kg) I did 30 kg

5 rounds for time

Took me 7:30 shoulda done at least 35kgs,

made a dumb mistake too of using the guys 20kg bar which has a thicker bar and cos this was such a forearm centred workout once i had finished I couldn't make a fist and my hands were all tingly from screwed pumped forearms oh well :shifty:

Good news \:D/ :grin: I won a comp on Go figure website for mighty morph pre workout drink yayay lookout now mighty morphin power crossfitter on the loose and comin your way soon :pfft: :oops:

[rose]

power crossfitter on the loose and comin your way soon

Eeek :shock: :shock: :shock: Congrats! Don't take it all at once. Or maybe do, and tell us alllll about it :pfft:

Just curious, why don't you use the 20kg bar all the time Miss? :shifty:

[bigdogbob]

We have womens bars that weigh 15 kgs and they have a smaller/thinner bar which is just easier to grip for those of us with wee little hands, spose i'd get used to the mens bar if i used them all the time but just gives the forearms too mean a pump and makes for major grip issues.

Will def have a go with big big big scoop of morph just to see how hyped i can get :pfft: , prob be like an adhd kid who takes ritalin it'll have the opp effect and i'll go slow cos i'm naturally pretty hyped
