Get a Grip!

Mad Props to all you guys for NOT eating the sabotage almond butter toffee that Glenn and I got on Mackinac...well done!
I had a lazy day yesterday in preparation for work today. Could feel my IT band bothering me all day, and I knew it was gonna be an issue at the box. Sure enough, I felt it on the warm up run and suffered because of it! Ouch....

Strength:
Close grip tempo bench press, 3-0-x
Found my 1 RM, 70#'s! Which is a new all time BP PR for me, by 5#'s.
That was exciting.

MetCon:
5 Rounds of

10 Burpees
10 KBS at 35#'s
10 PU

11:43

Burpees were unbroken and felt efficient. The KBS were unbroken until the last round which was 5-5. Amazingly, it was the KBS that really hurt my Left knee, to the extent that I limped over to the bar after the last set of pullups. And then came the pullups. Two issues here...grip strength, and the kip. My grip was cashed after the KBS. This hurt my pullups quite a bit. And my timing is still off with my kip. I tried to go back to a band for the pullups, didn't help my kip timing. Would have done the same without it. Don't know what the issue is, but I need some pull up fixage. I think it would change my WOD's significantly! Help! (Anthony and Jonny, I'm looking at you!)
