DNF. 2 rounds + Shoulder to OH, could not finish the last set of rope climbs :( 

The rope climb workout was very frustrating. The shoulder to overhead part felt fine, but the rope climbs were just bad. The first round was ok, the second round a huge struggle. I just do not use the right technique, I use all arms and no leg, so my grip and forearms were just fucking smoked. I knew I wasn't going to be able to get the third round of rope climbs. Stephen gave me some really helpful tips to change my rope climb technique so I'm using more legs and pulling a lot less with my arms. It's something I'm going to have to practice a lot because I am just not used to doing it the correct way. Also I have never done that many rope climbs in a row in a workout before so I was not used to that. Looking forward to getting better at this, just gotta practice.
