Below parallel or the rep doesn't count

My new phone arrived yesterday and I spent an hour last night figuring out how to use just the basics. Oh my god why are phones so difficult now? I am not very good at figuring stuff out on my own, you guys. But anyway, after much cursing and laughing, I can enter phone numbers into the damn thing, so if you think I should have your phone number, send it to me in a private message or email, please.

Remember: I lost my old phone, so right now the only person's number I have is mckitterick's. If I used to have your phone number, please please please give it to me again? I leave my phone off at work, so calling me (my number is the same) won't be very helpful. Email or private message, please. Thanks.

Today's Crossfit was so much better than Monday's. Today was all about arms, which was a nice change. The warm-up was a superset of hang cleans, front squat, strict overhead press, back squat, and bent row. Four sets of four. For the skill work we didn't lift a lot of heavy weight, but did several sets of bicep curls and reverse bicep curls with a barbell. That was new! Then the WOD was seven reps for time 13 wall balls, 13 sit-ups. I got motion sick on my last set of sit-ups and had to rest for about fifteen seconds, which put me over nine minutes. DANG.

Tonight is All About KCRF Prep. Jesus Christ I've got a lot on my to-do list. Number one is clean the sewing room because if I start faire with a mess of a sewing room I am so so so fucking fucked.

BTW, have I mentioned I'm pretty proud of my little baby calluses from lifting and hanging from bars at Crossfit? Because I am. I thought they would bother me, seeing as I'm so sensitive about my pretty pretty hands. But no. I feel like a badass every time I rub my thumb over them.

I have a Samsung now, synched up with Gmail, and it's been pretty cool. Nearly three years old and kind of suffering from digital dementia lately...which is sad in several ways. Will email you phone number, etc.

Yay, sexay little calluses!

I don't have any calluses on my ring finger pads. Is that unusual? I'm worried it means my grip is uneven or something.

I *only* get them on my ring finger pads. As long as they're balanced for your hands, you're probably fine...it's probably a matter of how wide your default grip is, based on body mechanics (like the width of your squat stance). If you're worried, then one of the coaches can check your grip for you.

Thanks for the reassurance! My right hand pinky finger one is the worst (by kind of a lot), so maybe I'll have a coach look at it on Friday.
