So I think it is physically impossible for me to be able to do a pull-up by the time the Tough Mudder rolls around. Why? I haven't tested the absolute max, but I can do about 10 lateral pull down reps with 75lbs and 6-8 reps with 87.5 lbs. I currently weigh about 160 lbs so even assuming my max single rep weight I can lift is 100, I'm still a solid 60 pounds from being able to lift myself. So yeah, I don't think I'll really be able to pull myself over the wall. Dammit.
The undergrads are back so that means the gym is super busy. And it means that I can't stay on the treadmill for more than 30 minutes. Soooo annoying. I guess there's a slight upside in that it forces me to do more weight training which is a good thing for sure.
On a further annoying note, there are ginormous piles of snow everywhere and the wintery mix that keeps falling combined with the sub-freezing nighttime temperatures has made a layer of ice over all the snow. The fields of snow now look fake, like they're made of ceramic. It's never going to go away now.
