"Lynne"

Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups

Bench (175lbs) = 20, 14, 11, 10*, 8 = 63 (PR by 1*)
Pull-ups = 50, 46, 40, 32, 35 = 203 (Pr by 26!)
*Ron pushed the bar forward which helped me get it around the peg on the last rep

I am disappointed with the bench.  I had been working on my bench a lot until track got into full swing.  I have not been able to do anything extra for the last three or four weeks and my bench is probably slipping again.  I need to get back to work.  However, pretty happy with the pull-ups except for the first round.  I had the number 50 in my head and just got off the bar when I hit it.  As soon as I let go I thought "that was stupid; I could have done more."  I was getting tired but I was really not close to failure.  But other than that,  I seem to have the butterfly kip down and was in a real good grove on all the sets except for the fourth.  I was also happy to do over 200 pull-ups without tape and not lose hide on my hands or blister.
