If hands could cry

My hands are wearing down. Last Friday with the heavy deadlifts, I ripped up a mess of hand on my left. And on the right, several layers are still missing and trying to rebuild.

So today's 5 intervals with 20 pullups did not help.

I stayed between 4 and 5 minutes and held it together pretty well until the last 2 rounds. My first three were 4:10, 4:05 and 4:00. I actually warm up slowly, so this makes some sense. But then I could not maintain - especially on the pullups. Had to break them up too much. Melissa correctly points out that when I am tired, I try to muscle them and not kip. Stupid, stupid, stupid - I know.

So anyway - 4 more days until spring break. A week in Fla - and a week break from the box. I feel I need it, and my hands certainly do.
