Okay.... call it "I am that stupid" or... "should have paid attention during physics/engineering class"
Yesterday I was busting out a metcon, and on the second rep of pull ups, I tore the bar out of the lam beam.
It was a near disaster, buy I escaped with a minor bruise (and a failed workout).
I guess 2" screws on flanges are not sufficient to hold a 175.... 185 pound man in a kipping pull up.
I call it bad ass, but most would call it stupid engineering.
Thought I would share.

I'd blame the beam, not the screws. Nothing beats a good screw.
Did something similar in the past. Bummer but hey, what a memory...
Hi Matt,
OMG, thank goodness that you are okay! If it makes you feel better I hated Physics too:) It was the hardest class that I ever took!
I actually pondered on doing the Afton trail run that you were talking about. I think that I will save that one for next year:) If there are any more trail runs later in the fall let me know:) I would like to hear more about your big Superior ultra that you have coming up. No, I am no way in hell thinking about doing it! I am just curious:)
Thanks for leaving me a comment...I was wondering how things were going. Glad that you are back in Blogland again:) Take care!
Well at least you didn't pull your house down - I am pretty sure that's what happened to Kevin G never mind a tornado - he was doing pull ups on that tree.
