CrossFit Kelly Moore Rope climb/Full ROM HSPU WOD

5 rounds for time: 2 8' hands only rope climbs/5 ROM HSPU. 9:30 time. 1.5" diameter rope attached to TAPS bar; I have to keep my legs bent so I don't hit the uprights. All climbs start and end in sitting position and end with hand or head touching ceiling...this is the way I climb rope in the apartment when the WOD wants a 15' rope climb. Unexpected guest appearance by Mini the Cat at 5:45.

Righteous Deadstop Diane in under 10 minutes will be yours if you keep working on these ROM handstand pushups. How many of these handstand pushups can you do fresh?

Hi CrossFitFan,

I've done 9 consecutive when fresh in the past; I have no idea what I can do now.

Thank you.

I always see your comments on the main page, I had to check you out for myself. I am convinced, you are a firebreather. Your HSPUs are phenomenal. I also love your gym!!! Great work, keep it up.

Thanks Argos,

The rope set up isn't ideal, but it works. I have to be careful not to crack my knees on the uprights. It works well enough that I can climb the 20+' rope at the Monkey Bar Gym multiple times without any problems.

I do use chalk when climbing and sometimes wear leather gloves and chalk those when my hands are close to tearing. I don't need to suffer from another staph infection from a skin tear!

Very creative set up for the rope. Tuesday I will be getting my proper rope and will give this workout a go from time to time. My HSPU need some work though and are by far not as impressive as yours :-) Do you like to use chalk when climbing rope? Personally I find it a lot easier when I do.
