Death by Pull Up
With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute… continuing as long as you are able.
Use as many sets each minute as needed.

Worst Halloween Costume Ever!
Interesting discussion over on the mainsite rest day today – it’s about abolishing intellectual property. I thought it odd considering how vigilantly Glassman defends CFs IP.
Shane, I know you swore off rest day discussions but given your profession, thoughts on IP?
Oh, and who’s training tonight?
Colm…where did you get that photo of my costume?
I may be down tonight depending on whether the postman arrives with my halloween costume.
If he doesn’t then I’ll probably be under sedation and armed guard, after having gone postal down at the post office.
My God. Usually I think I look great in photos but I don’t think you quite got my ‘good side’. Plus some dirt on the lens makes it look like I’ve got a hitleresque mustache going on. Good thing I was wearing nice shorts. It balances out.
Colm-I can’t believe you suckered me into reading a main site article. Why? Have I wronged you in some way? At the risk of sounding like a meatstick I would say, based on how poorly written and ridiculously weak the arguments made and logic used is throughout the article, this is Glassman’s argument in favor of IP. But that’s just a guess. Libertarians can at times be seemingly paradoxical in their fanatical use of government to protect individual rights (including property rights).
And Big Shane, as the resident heartless capitalist, someday we’ll have to have a discussion on your views regarding socialism.
Ahg. You see, this is exactly what happened to me on the main site. It is impossible for me not to respond. Curse you Colm, curse you. Like giving one last ‘free hit’ to a recovering heroin addict.
Kyle, yes you’ve wronged me. When am I going to get an email?
Shane, I went back on the mainsite and found your comment. Yeah I’d agree with your comments.
Shane, we could organise a sponsored FGB for Stuart if people are willing.
I’d be in for that FGB, great idea.
Yeah we’ll do the FGB during Big Shane’s Big Week. We’ll sort out sponsorship and whatnot on Monday.
Here’s my Cleans during the week if anyone’s interested. Posted it on the Performance Menu forum for critique

I’m very curious to see what kind of response you get on PM. I would say those failures were purely mental as the bar was easily as high as on the successful lifts, something was just stopping you from getting underneath it (maybe the thought of 80 kilos crashing down on you?).
But Mr. O’Reilly, do I see your back rounding when setting down those weights? Which brings up a good point. You are constantly correcting all of us, but for some reason nothing seems to drive it home as much as seeing for myself how bad my own form is (thinking of Manchester vids and swing pic in particular). Does anyone else have any interest and would your site support some form/critique videos?
Oh, and YOUR email? Really Colm, my emails belong to the people.
Testing Comments. I fear they may be all getting marked as spam
Full cleans on this week of hangovers (man, the halloween party season is just blending into christmas if you ask me).
3-3-3-3-3
70, 75, 80, 85, 85
The 85s are PBs. I think I could probably go a little heavier.
Had a tough time doing hanging power cleans in a metcon a while back, so I decided to do some of these.
5-5-5-5-5
65, 70, 72.5, 75, 75, 75
Again, trying to keep good form.
