135 pound Sumo deadlift high-pull
Pull to inverted hang and lower as slowly as possible
On SDHP's, pull the bar to make contact under the chin. On pulls to inverted hang, keep arms, trunk, hips, and legs as straight as possible, both up and down. This is not for time.
The SDHP is a "pull" that is really a "push." Can you elaborate?

For one, without the leg push/hip opening momentum, you got jack squat diddly. For next, with the elbows higher than the shoulders (ideally) you're really doing a kind of Atlas shrug. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it. Now, to scale down from 135...
Do I win the donut?
Donut Hole? How many servings?
I'm with Chris. If any pulling is being depended on here more than getting the movement started/weight off the ground past the knees, the 135# just isn't going to get up to the chin 74 times. The bulk of being able to move the weight is through pushing from the heels and hip explosion. In theory anyway...The reality of inefficient movement will be all too apparent tomorrow.
Actually, I guess even getting the weight off the ground is a push, too. Gawd damn, it is a push movement!
If its the donut hole, then I'll have infinite servings. Donut balls, on the other hand.
Hey, I just did the math...72 days of CrossFit out of the last 139. That's a workout every 1.93 days! Yeah, i used a calculator. I didn't count any CFE workouts either...
DONUT BALL & BACON TIME!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!
72 of 139. Chris you deserve a medal...seriously. Way impressed.
I"m rigging pullies and ropes over my bed for the coming Catastrophic Abdominal Failure (CAF) from this one!
Wow! Wish I had all day long to train, so I'd have a shot at completing that monstrosity. Someday I'll be feeling strong in that front lever position... someday...
