Spotting the Bench Press Part 1, Mark Rippetoe - video [wmv] [mov]
Posted by lauren at March 24, 2008 7:09 PM
question...i love the intrigue and mystery of not knowing the workout until the night before but is there a reasoning for not putting up at least two days of workouts? because a lot of places are closed on Sundays and if we rest Sat. and know what Sundays is we could just flip flop...but im just a college noob...someone smart explain...
Hate to be a debbie downer, but i'm pretty sure we saw this video before. then again, it's great, free info, so i'll probably just shut up and stop complaining
If it's a problem you could always work out a day or a cycle behind (see FAQ). Else the slippery slope comes into effect with why not post three days or four days or 2 cycles ahead. AHHHHH!
Do muscle ups on the pull up bar count as rx'd?
Oh f**k. Good thing I ripped my hands doing pull-ups on Friday...lord knows I certainly won't need them for the 120 pull-ups and dips tomorrow...
This should take me uhhhh...about twelve hours! GET SOME!
#3, Pelch,
If you simply run one week behind schedule, you will always have at least 6 days of workouts available.
true words #5 and #10...I just cant stop myself from going...I mean honestly I am hooked and addicted in all the right ways...im actually typing in a handstand right now...
#11, Pelch,
If you're really ambitious, simply go to the archives and work your way in order through every WOD for the past several years. It should be a while before you catch up.
YES! I've been waiting for this!
I'm going to set aside a few hours at the lyceum tomorrow and finish this workout if it's the last thing I do!
Woo Hoo!
P.S. Good job Max! Can't wait to see your progress!
well, i did 28 for "Nate" the other day, so it should be 20 mins tops... looking forward to it.
Ok...I'm just gonna say it...
Our Cert would've kicked the other Cert's ass!
A big thanks to all that came to visit One World this weekend....travel safely and come back soon.
Rowed a 5k tonight. First time doing that. 22:14.5min I might try to double up tomorrow. Thinking about doing the C&J at lunch and muscleup around 5pm, although for times sake I should probably reverse those.
Good Luck Allison! Can't wait to hear how it goes.
#8 I know how you feel Armando. I ripped open my hands doing pull ups on saturday. I've just started working on trying to get my first muscle up but I don't think I can even do one pull up right now with my hands the way they are.
are the 120 kipping or strict dead hang pullups? Forgive my stupidity!
I just got back from my Level 2 Cert at Coronado, CA and what an incredible experience it was! At the Level 1 you get beat up physically but at the Level 2 you get punished both physically and mentally, it was awesome. I just wanted to say thanks to all the great trainers; Andy Stumpf for hosting, Dave Castro as always "Dave you the man", and of course Nicole Carroll who is as beautiful inside as she is outside. If you think she is hot in the videos, you should see her in person! BTW, thanks Nicole for the next Crossfit Results T-Shirt logo "Don't Let the Perfect be the Enemy of the Good".
We'll be doing the following tomorrow, so I guess we'll get our muscle-ups in:
"Worm"
4 rounds, for time:
Weighted Pull-up, 25% bodyweight, 15 reps
Overhead Squats, 50% bodyweight, 15 reps
Row 500m or Run 400m
Maniac Muscle-ups, 5 reps (1 full m-u with 2 additional dips at the top per Brand X)
In honor of a Marine pilot instructor and student who died in a T-34 crash in Alabama last week. The instructor, Major David "Worm" Yaggy, was a Huey pilot with one tour in Afghanistan and two tours of duty in Iraq.
Anyone's welcome to join in...post your results at www.crossfitrockwall.com (wfs)
Sweet, I can do this one messed up ankle and ALL!!!
:-)

Awesome time at the One World cert! I was very impressed at the depth of knowledge of all the trainers.
Huge thanks to Adrian of CrossFit San Fran, just a simple thing he said improved my kip tremendously! Tony definitely needs to to more in front of the camera, rather than behind it. One-shot, sorry man, but the name deserved all the jokes you got. :)
I can usually only do a couple of muscle-ups in a row. What do you guys think would be a good interval for this WOD? I'm thinking about trying 30 secs between each rep for a total of 15 mins. My 120 PUs/120 dips time was 22 mins. Any advice?
question...if doing pullups and dips how should i alternate? 5/5, 10/10, 20/20? anyways, been on CF for a week and loving it! thanks.
#4 Eric,
Yes, it is the same video from a while back but the nice thing is that we don't have to search back to the former WOD to hear Rip say "Chesticles" again.
Tomorrow's WOD OMG........bring on the joy of uhhh "pain" Obviously I will be doing 120 jumping pullups and 120 dips.......lets see I should be done before Midnight!!!!!
Today I did 4 rounds of:
400 meters
25 back ext
25 pushups
25 situps
25 dips
25 step ups............
ooooo.....looks good. cant wait to do this tomorrow morning! I work out at a normal gym, so I love all the stares I get from the guys doing bicep curls..
Only my third day of doing CrossFit and this comes up....it's gonna be a long workout tomorrow!
Oh boy.. my elbow tendenitus is going to go through the roof.. but I've been waiting for this.. I think I can beat my old time.. lol
"If you cannot do the muscle-ups do 120 pull-ups and 120 dips."
- And that is supposed to be easier?
#24, Beez. Alternate how ever you want. Try to find rep schemes that minimize your time obvioulsy. Personally, I'm stronger on ring dips so I shoot for 10/8 as long as I can stay fast, then I may drop down to 6/4 to finish. Good luck. Glad you're getting hooked!
Argh, I could so do this one but I still think I'll take a stab at Nate.
Just finished the level one cert at Raineer Crossfit in WA and it was awesome.
Met terrific people, worked hard (probably an understatement) and learned a ton about what right is supposed to look like.
A huge thanks to the instructors and the affiliate for such an outstanding time and for sharing their experiences with us all.
I can't do a muscle up but I do have rings. Should I just do 30 ring pullups and 30 ring dips? Or should I do a 2:1 ratio? Any ideas?
I think I'll catch up with the C&J from yesterday - my wrists are still ripped up from Nate.
The level 1 cert at Rainer Crossfit was awesome. Dave Castro, Robb Wolf, Mike and Lisa, and the RCF team--thanks for the incredible knowledge you shared.
Robb, you definately need to start a nutrition cert. I was a skeptic about the whole diet thing, but after hearing you break it down I'm definately going to mess with my diet.
Dave--the programming lecture was the missing link for me. I had an "a ha" moment half way through that lecture, so thanks!
Last, but surely not least, Natia...wow. You are truely an inspiration to both men and women. When I saw you PR Fran I realized what intensity is all about.
Thanks again to all! Looking forward to 30 muscle-ups tomorrow. CAM--bring your A game.

4.4. Why can't you/don't you/won't you post the WOD earlier to accomodate my personal needs?
This great free, resource, given freely by the Glassmans, is freely made available on the time schedule of the folks who (did I mention freely) run CrossFit.com. If the posting time doesn't suit you, you can always a) do something else, b) do a previously posted workout, or c) workout a day or a cycle behind the posted date.
#7 USC sam: Bar counts but it's easier unless you do deadhangs. Preferably rings as if you haven't been on them the stability will kill you, but bar is fine if you don't have rings.
FYI with good technique this is the order easiest to hardest:
kipping bar
kipping rings
deadhang rings
deadhang bar
#18 sean kane: kipping unless otherwise stated always. if you can do 30 deadhangs that would be impressive though.
#34 rorpen: if you have rings and want to sub I would suggest weighted ring dips and pullups with ~10-15% of bodyweight. The strength requirement is much better than subbing 1:1 ratios.
Ironically, did this last Thurs. Got 2:57 full extension to full extension, no jump down in the eccentric. Much, MUCH harder than if you did slightly bent arms and no eccentrics (2:24 when I did that last time).
I find it helps to pace these. I do not like the 1 every X seconds because once you start getting into one every <about 8 seconds you only get a few seconds break because the actual muscle up takes time. It's better to go something along the lines of grouping such as 3,3,3,3,3. For sub 3 I always used 5 every 30s. For sub 2:30 I used 7,6,6,6,5 IIRC. IMO a decreasing pyramid scheme works best.
#27 skye
Im 17 years old and I just started CF last monday. Whenever me and my workout buddy do the WOD at our gym (YMCA), we always get these huge built people staring at us. Take for example, we were doing the clean and jerk workout. All you see is people sitting up on their benches looking at us at amazement thinking "wow what are these kids doing." Its just a great feeling when people around you think your strong. You get much more respect.
M/35/140/5'-5"
Level 1 Cert @ RCF was everything I had hoped it would be. Thank you to everyone who contributed! Been strict zone for several months and I've experienced amazing results, yet the nutrition lecture really dialed in some of the finer points I had yet to research! Great job Robb!
question.
i only have a bar so it will be dips and pullups. so my question is do you do the entire 120 pullups first, then 120 dips?
i did this about 10 days ago, but i subbed 3/3 ration instead of 4/4 like this workout says. i did 15 rounds. so have the workout. but i did 3 pullups then 3 dips. repeat, over and over.
so which way is recomended?

RE: Ripps video.
That's the same Video from a few weeks ago (#1).
What clued me was 'chesticles'
Classic Rip.
I swear knew this was going to be the next work out I just had a feeling:) Can't wait!
I was at the one world level 1 cert. and learned a lot the trainers were awesome. I must say the Tabata with the rest in the squat position was painful. Maybe I shouldn't of run 40 miles the day before! LOL...My fault ;)
Catra
http://trailgirl.blogspot.com
someone remind me why i like this again...
no, really... i can probably knock out the pullup/dips within 20 minutes. i can do 20 dead hang pull ups. i can lift myself up from an arms parallel to the deck position on the rings. but good god, i look like a beached goldfish trying to do a muscle up. it's just not working out. am i missing a trick here?
p.s. hurry up and get to iraq, george.
30 muscle-ups: 10:30. I did 20 by 6 min's but lost track of time. This is the best time yet.
warm down
ring L-pull-ups:5,4,3,2,1x4
ring dips:totaled to 60.
208lbs 32y/o man slightly balding 73'
LOL! This workout was my intro into crossfit. Had never done a muscle up so i decided to try the 120/120 and did about 65 pull ups and 90ish dips and could not raise my arms over my head for 4 days after.
6:03 - Full elbow extension at hang, support and back to hang; no "jump off" reps.
If only my rings I ordered 18 days ago were here already....
So I found crossfit by googling first aid for the calus that I tore while doing deadlifts.
I did my first Crossfit work out today. I guess I have left room for improvement.
Can't do body ups yet.
Only got 65 pull ups - no good at kipping yet
But got the full 120 dips
30 minutes.
Perhaps doing max on dips everytime burned my lats out to much for the pull ups, next time I will try matching the numbers and see if I do better.
Just did this yesterday. A little premature...maybe pyschic...intuitive...? Nope, just felt like working on and trying to perfect muscle ups.

Full extension at the top.
Full extension at the bottom before letting go.
NO JUMP OFF AT ALL.
#46:
Whew, that New York Times article was a real hatchet job--all innuendo and no beef. Thanks for posting the link.
I don't have a problem with the article, really. Innuendo aside, I didn't see any big errors in the facts presented, just in her interpretation of them. It's good to get a reminder once in a while that Crossfit isn't for everybody.
Smooth sailing on today's WOD, y'all.
Subbed 120 PU and 120 ring dips.
20:25
Shoulder has recovered sufficiently for me to do this. I did them broken into 4s and 3s to not overstress myself. Very glad to be back in the swing of things.
Tariq
13:10 Rx... ripped some skin off my left hand (at the false grip part of the base of the palm) on #28... i'm just not meant to have healed hands i guess.
I'm off up the park to give this a whirl. I can't do muscle ups. Subbing Pull-ups (maximum number in a single set is 10) and ring dips(max 8). This is going to take a long time. Target = 3 hrs (that can't be right). Report to follow...........

Loved the 400m lunges the other day (thanks Bob). Very discouraged just looking at today's WOD. Why does most of this stuff seem to favor the short-muscled athletes? Pullups, dips, o-lifting, gymnastic moves? Grrrrrr...

Right now I'm thinking 50 ring dips and 50 pull ups with a 20lb vest.
I wish I had a higher place to hang my rings from, I still don't really know if I could get a MU if I had room to kip.
Oh well. I'll practice with a weight vest, and hopefully when I get the opportunity, a MU will be no problem!

30 Jumping muscle ups
Arms felt like they were going to fall off. Felt like it was a much longer 5:59 than it was.
JFG
how do bar muscle ups compare to true muscle ups?
31:01 (120+120 kipping/bar)

YESSSSS!!I'm receiving my elite rings today. I've never tried muscle ups, I hope the last 2 months of training with crossfit has gotten me fit enough to do at least 1 muscle up. My question is what if I could do a muscle up but I find it extremely hard? Should I still go for all 30 even though that would defeat the purpose of crossfit? I know we want to put out maximum intensity which is equivalent to putting as much work as we can in the minimum amount of time. I don't know if its better to complete the workout or scale it down and make it intense to our level of fitness. Please someone help. I don't like looking for a resonse in the 200+ commenets after mine so a email would even be better if possible. Thanks a million I hope all you reach your goals.
Seeing Coach Rippetoe again with BP tips is always a good thing! Lighten up....hear his jargons, very funny!
CrossFit Rockwall - Mary, that WOD's for the stronger CrossFitters. I'll try the puppy version, thanks.
420 reps here we go!
First time I've been able to do this WOD as Rx'd - woohoo!!

Big thanks to the Ranier Crossfit folks for their hospitality this weekend. That's a great facility you have.
When I left the cert I was actually heavily disappointed. I didn't "learn" much, largely because I'm a geek and I've spent a year devouring information from this site, the message boards, and the crossfit journal. $1000 without new info was a tough pill to swallow, but perhaps that's what I get for studying. It's not that the lectures weren't good, 7 out of 9 were good to excellent (Robb Wolf just reeks of excellence). Only a couple of the lectures gave the vibe that the lecturer had something else on his mind, or somewhere else he'd rather be.
There were definite upsides too. Met some great people. Had some great coaching, Robb Wolf, Lisa, Laurie, Dave W were all fantastic to work with (better yet, watching their coaching technique was awesome), and I didn't even get exposed to everyone. I picked up some corrections on movements. I PR'd Fran by 78 seconds (7:22 yeah, I'm slow), I broke 1:30 500m row for the first time. I had my first experience with a group fitness setting, even though it's not my cup of tea. Lots of useful things and enjoyable things. And I'll always respect someone who wants their product reviewed in a public forum (this) rather than in private.
Over the next several hours, as I babbled to my wife about the weekend, the disappointment faded and I was left fairly content and fairly tired. Was it worth $1000 for me, a pretty capable self-educator who has studied up on crossfit? No. Was it a fun and valuable weekend? Hell yes.

Dips 28:44
ring dips - 2-2-1-1 then I had to switch to bar dips
6-5-5-5-4-3-4-4-3-4-3-4 then I switched to dips with my feet supported 15-11-9-7-10-8.
Beat 3 hours but if I'd stuck to ring dips I think 30 hours might've been closer.
60 rowing muscle ups

Here's a great link to an interview with Dan Gable about the NCAA Wrestling Championships just held in St. Louis on the weekend. There's alot that he says that is applicable to the attitude you need to be an outstanding crossfitter. See what you think. Especially those of you who are coaching clients
http://www.flocasts.org/flowrestling/coverage.php?c=225&id=11698
I'm technology challenged so just copy and paste the address.
I love this quote from the NYT article:
"It resembles not so much a gym as a system of alleys, a rough-hewn underground network designed to train a super-race that wouldn’t be out of place in Marvel Comics."
Now it may some funny to some but that is quite a compliment in my opinion...especially the system of alleys part. In the end whether you're in the alley or the nice gym, it's HARD WORK that produces results. Back to the work for this trainee.

30 ring pull-ups

I doubt if that's an appropriate sub but my body sure thought so. Good workout. I'm so glad I found space in my duffel and brought my new rings to Afghanistan.
15:36
SUB 4 TOWEL PULL-UPS/4 RING DIPS:1 MUSCLEUP
The NY times article wasn't necessarily as bad as you guys are making it out to be. All in the eyes of the beholder imo. Good luck!
Question: Am I wrong to think that weighted pullups and dips (say 25% body weight) would be a more accurate sub for muscle ups? Rings seem to demand more power rather than endurance so why 120 reps instead of a heavy 30-40 reps?
I can't even do a muscle up yet so it is just a novice's curiosity. I'll see if I can't crank out a few bar muscle ups today (don't have rings).
#94 I concur.
The article almost seemed to be one of envy.
I bet online traffic and interest increases as a consequence.
#95/Matt-C - no reason not to do both, alternating for each day you see this WOD. However, you are venturing into new territory as this sub has been tried and proven.
I did 30 MU attempts in 17 minutes, hitting one. Not sure where my MU went ... will look in the back yard today in the daylight.
Might do Matt-C's weight dips/pullups, too.
Up at 0500 of my own choice to work out every work day this month ... my college room mates would never believe it.

25:35
First time doing all muscle ups
M/22/6'1"/185
Took yesterday off due to a closed gym. Went to yoga with momma dukes instead. it felt really good to stretch out my back and shoulders
That being said, I had to make up yesterday's WOD
C&J's: 185, 205, 205, 215, 225, 245, 235
Jumping up to 245 really took away any momentum that I had built up
Today as RX'd: 5:09. Done right after clean and jerks was a bad idea, but that'll happen
for the 120 pu and 120 dips, do you do all at once or 4/4 (to equal 1 MU) 30 times?
The NY times article is fantastic for so many reasons. Check out the comments there too....my favorite was from a dude that doesn't seem to be crossfitter...
How many reps would Jesus do?
That shirt will be out soon...don't worry.
I did this on Feb. 7th (a rest day) and got a 4:57 as rx'd...
Last night my cousin and I discovered that we could finally do Bar Muscle-ups so we quickly did a work out consisting of 10 rounds of: 5 bar muscle-ups/ 5 hspu's/ 10 pistols, which I did in 18:04.
My left hand really got torn up... First time this has ever happened. So, I will do the best tape job possible and attempt a sub' 4:50... Ill post this evening with results. Another of my cousins will be joining me for this WOD who only recently discovered that he could do more than one muscle-up at a time last week doing "NATE", so he is looking forward to this one.

I haven't felt that jumping muscle-ups were helping me towards a true muscle-up, so I did rowing muscle-ups as described in the most recent CFJ: with feet on a box higher than hips, body in plank position, pull up with a false grip, transition, then dip.
50 rowing muscle-ups

All MUs started from dead hang. Room for improvement, but felt good actually being able to do 30 MUs.
muscle ups are the bain of my existence...the rings have been up for a week and I still can't get a muscle up...it's keeping me awake at night...having a lot of trouble with the transition, I keep leaning back when I know that I need to push my head/chest forward...so we did 50 ring dips and 120 pullups to sub for the 30 muscle ups
Mike-20:31
Drew-14:37
'2 minute defense' yesterday--don't think i've seen it as a WOD, but there's a great video of Pat doing it...It's a good one to do if you want to sub for whatever the WOD is...
Mike-12:35
Drew-12:19
The NYT article isn't bad, it just isn't as glowing as we would like it to be, and that's as it should be. The fundamental ideas of CrossFit are not for everyone, and they are and should be bewildering to people whom they are not for. They are very new and very good ideas, and we would rather people be surprised and intimidated by them at first than think, "oh, this is just the new trendy exercise scam".
no warmup today, just went at it...

The level 1 cert at Rainier Crossfit was incredible. I had a great time meeting everybody.
Robb "Super" Wolf. Great information. Super professional instruction. Super nutritional information. You definately need to start a nutrition cert. I learned a great deal about what I need to do to get my diet in check. Everything starts with nutrition. Carbs will never be the same. Thanks.
Dave, Let me get this straight. "Increased work capacity across broad time and modal domains?"
I also had an "a ha" moment. Thanks!
Natia...Wow! Poetry in motion with Fran. Just incredible! Now that was intense.
Thank you to Rainier Crossfit for holding the cert and for your professionalism.
Love the burn.

Woo hoo, #85 you're in my boat!
120/120 in sets of about 5. I did 85 pull ups all by myself which is a PR by about 40 (in a day). Then assisted. All the ring dips were negatives. Finished in 48ish. Not proud of the time but proud of the accomplishment!
#107, I agree. I think the word "cult" and association with ministry could be misinterpretted negatively in todays day and age. I guess dedication and strong community community bond goes a long ways in some peoples eyes.

Kurtis & Laurie of Rainier CrossFit hosted a great LVL 1 cert this weekend. Thanks for everything.
For me, the weekend gave legitimacy to the things I have learned over time, through repetition, and from research (primarily via CrossFit and related affiliates). So, for that audience, day 1 appears to be review. (Metabolic pathways, modal capacity, the wellness diagram, the hierarchy of development - I know all of this - OCT02 Journal, right?)
Having the subject matter experts on hand; tying it all in with break-out groups focusing on functional movements, and ensuring that there is an understanding of the entire CrossFit model really made it worth while. Robb Wolf's nutrition lecture solidified the foundation of the hierarchy of development model for me. Buying into that model is a requirement for "doing" CrossFit. It's more than just the WODs.
Dave Castro, Nadia, Robb Wolf, the folks from CrossFit Rainier & CrossFit Flagstaff - thanks for your expertise and guidance.
Kurtis - I figured out how to throw my ass back and get my head through; first clean muscle-up this morning. 1 out of about 50 attempts. MWade, thanks.

3 pullups, 118 jumping pullups.. Broke them up into sets of 12 or so. 16:45
12 dips off a barbell on smith rack. Was very uncomfortable, didn't feel right. Other 108 off the side of a bench, feet on floor
total 27:45, but I spent about 3-5 min getting the bench and smith barbell all set up, so the dips took about 6-7 min, not 11.
You got to love this one. I like going for broke on this one to see were true muscular failure happens and then try and finish the workout. I have only done this workout twice, including today's and it has been fun playing with danger (complete muscular failure). The first time I did this I did one set to failure (13 reps) and dealt with whatever was left in the tank. I believe I got around 7 minutes or so. This time my goal was reps of 6,5,4,6,5,4. That went out the window after the first set of 4 but it did allow me to get 15 reps in less than 1.5 minutes. From there it was all doubles and some singles.

30 Muscle-ups (w/lock-out at bottom)= 5:52
Started with rounds of 5's, then had to moved to 3's, and then 1's. My goal was under 5. Maybe next time.
Well I've been all hyped-up to do Nate since it came up last week so I did that instead today with very disappointing results, I did one less round than last time!! 13 full as rx'ed.
I was full on pace for 16-17 rounds but at the 5 minute mark I basically forgot how to do a muscle-up. It was rediculous, I had about 12 rounds completed and I couldn't squeeze 3-4 more in the last 5 minutes. All MU's were turned out at the bottom, like last time, but the form just died. All HSPU straight through this time, though!
Post-3 rounds 20 push ups, 20 sit ups, 3 dead hang chins. Worked on wider hands for push ups.
Decided to go back in the month and do a WOD I missed today,so I picked out "Angie" and did it in 19:24.

Wanted to get under 20 minutes and got it with ease. I started out on a little slower pace than previous times and it helped me from burning out at the end.
I have been doing Crossfit for about 11 months now and it is kind of funny to look back and see my times. When I did this last April (3rd Crossfit workout) it took me over 25 minutes and I used a lot of assist. My time is by no means fast now, but about 7 minutes faster without any assist is certainly a lot better. I am 15 pounds lighter now, and not as strong in bench, but everything else is the same or higher and I am in so much better overall shape. It will be interesting keep seeing the one year differences as workouts come up that I did last year at this time.

I am stationed at Ft. Benning, GA. My unit is going to start doing Crossfit style workouts twice a week. Any suggestions for workouts with large groups and no equipment?
Me: 41yo/M/5'10"/187lbs
Warm Up: Greg's circulars + a few pull ups and dips followed by 15 frustrating minutes trying to get a muscle up on the rings.
WOD: 120 pull ups and 120 dips: 19:28
Pull ups: All kipping
Dips: full range of motion
Method: 30 sets of 4 pull ups and 4 dips
I believe that I am no closer to getting a muscle up then when I got my rings 3 months ago. I can jump up on the rings and extend all the way up and I can pull up with a false grip to my nipple line but I cannot put it together, very frustrating.
Also, I started the zone a few weeks ago and dropped 6 pounds then I re-introduced grains back into my diet in zone quantities and I immediately gained back 3 pounds. I'm going to stop eating refined grains for a while and see where that takes me.
Have Fun, Train Hard,

Level 1 Cert at Rainier Thoughts: Really excellent. Robb "Uber" Wolf is a pleasure to hear expound, Mike from Flag talking technique WHILE doing muscle ups...lots of great stuff. Great, great form info/abuse both days. Mark, thanks for pushing my really slow self on that workout!
I don't recommend anyone doing their first long bike ride of the season on the way to the cert. It was 'nice' but it wasn't 'fun'.

I got my rings a couple of weeks ago and have tried them a few times. I still have problems with getting a MU done.
Today I did
12 x 5 pull ups from a hanging trapets. Dead hang.
3 x 5 ring dips, after getting up with a jumping MU, rings at about 6’8”, good form
18 ring dips (16 consecutive, extra breath before 17th and 18th)
16 ring dips (14 consecutive, extra breath before 15th and 16th)
17 ring dips (18th failed)
15 attempts at a MU, all failed, between pull ups and ring dips
for a total of
60 Pull ups. dead hang from trapets.
66 ring dips
15 failed MU attempts
I’ve gone through the false grip video and the MUs there several times.
I have never had a chance to talk with anyone who can do a MU and have never had anyone look at what I do wrong.
I’ve done 59 consecutive bar dips and can do way over 20 pull ups and 10 L pull ups with good form without a problem. I can get my palms together behind my back and can do 20 ring dips with good form when fresh.
I feel that I’m getting the hang of the false grip. I secure it as advised in the video by hanging from the rings, not securing it standing on support. I can lover myself down in a somewhat controlled manner from a ring dip position maintaining a false grip (the first attempts I just “fell through” but it’s getting more controlled now).
I would appreciate any hints on how the get the MU right.
Where do you hold your gaze, what do you do with legs, hips, etc. Do you try to do the move as fast and explosively as possible or in a more controlled and slow manner? What goes on in your mind during/before transition?
Sometimes it’s more difficult for a seasoned athlete to explain what goes on in his/her mind when performing something that for someone who has just managed to do it for the first time. I would greatly appreciate any hints and comments from people who have learned the MU quite recently, as well as those who have done them for a longer time.
What might I be doing wrong? It shouldn’t be lack of strength or flexibility, or could it?
I feel I’ll love MUs when I finally manage to figure out the technique. So far it has been a great exercise in humility :)

L1 cert at rcf was sweet. presentations all very tight. Time was super well managed..minus a few extra minutes for lunch which I'm sure we were all actually happy about.. Robb Wolfe.. can't wait for CF nutrition!! Lisa and Mike CF Flagstaff..excellent supporting info/instruction all throughout. Nadia the demo queen, amazing? where can I get one?? and of course Dave.. tight, tight, tight.
I've been in fitness for 15 years and have developed a pretty acute cynicism for most programs.. CF is incredibly refreshing because it's incredibly sound. Super stoked to wear the badge!

Last 50 pull-ups were jumping. I think I need some gloves for the PU bar in the gym, it's absolutely eating through my hands. My main weakness for the pull-ups was dealing with the grip issues from all the skin rips.

I would like to attend some of the nutrition classe. Thanks to my trainers from Snohmish Crossfit for suggesting I do this. It was well worth it.

Big thanks to Rainer Crossfit and the entire Crossfit crew! Great practical application... was nice to hear it first person finally. Met some wonderful and fit individuals, my only criticism is number of participants. I felt it could have been an even more productive weekend with less people... more coaches and coaching.
Robb you are an excellent coach!
Thanks again!
re: Lehti
You need to pull the rings down through your pecs in the false grip, push your head through while keeping the rings tight which will naturally bring them into your armpits (thumbs will go from pointing back to pointing forward). From there its a deep dip. Its like riding a bike - we can tell you how to do it all day long, but you need to do it yourself so your brain and body work as one.
You have a classic case of over-thinking going on, what you need to do is if you start thinking about it, just walk away. Let it happen, don't force it to happen.
Chalk and taped wrists are your friends as well.

did "pseudo-muscle ups" with rings. rings hung low due to gym constraints, so started on knees, with feet dragging behind and slight jump/push off. Form much better this time than in times previous.

couldnt really get the transition down well enough. had to jump off a little but was able to get quite a few MU's down. lost count really as we did a lot of dips and upside down pull-ups with the rings; even did some L-PU's. great stuff! Jumped rope as we alternated...man i need practice on Double Unders.

re: # 200 George
Thank you George. I think your advice will help significantly. “You need to pull the rings down through your pecs” and “push your head through” might work well as mental images. I’ll give it another go tomorrow.
I stopped using any straps or belts 3 months ago when I started CF. I might tape my wrist for this one if it helps to get started. I have chalk and it makes a big difference.
Thank you for the advice.

Sub 4 pull-up + 4 ring dips... holy crap those ring dips make it harder!
26:44... added 10 minutes since last time, when I did the same workout only with bar dips. Couldn't believe how much tougher the pullups were even though the pace was slower. Ring dips really hit your traps/lats hard!
This gives me even more reason to get the MU down. this workout will get a lot more pleasant!
Had a great time this weekend at Rainier Crossfit for Level I cert. Big thanks to Curtis and Lori for the facility (Starbuck's in easter eggs, who would've thought?). Level I is worthwhile instruction as it ties everything together in a nice neat package to take and use to instruct others. That's the goal, right? It accomplishes this well with the competent instruction from folks like Dave (smooth as silk lectures), Robb (a walking encyclopedia of nutrition and fitness), Mike, Lisa, Dave, Curtis, and Lori most excellent instructors. And Nadia well what can I say, the "model of fitness" being a "model for fitness", good job, well done, great example of what crossfit can do for you! Looking forward to putting my new education to practical use.
Still can't get MU consistantly so I subbed.

Had a great weekend with Scarzy from Alabama coming up to visit AStreet and I -- it turned Saturday's rest day into:
Inman Mile (135, 1 mile walk) -- it was a good way to sweat the Juniper Berries from Friday night out!!! 27:47, didn't set any record, but it was more of a tough it out bonding experience.
Then AStreet decided that it would be a great time to do The Bear.
I was like are you F'in kidding?
5 Rounds later...a bruised back and a demolished ego! Got up to 135 on round 5, with 95/105/115/120 leading up to it. Quite a hangover cure. Rested Sunday.

Not bad, I feel like I am improving last week I did "Angie" and it took me 28 min. just to do the 100 dead hang pull ups.

As RX'd. Crazy. Finished the first 19 in 19minutes. After that I was helping with a class and resting because I had to between reps. I'm not happy that it took me SO long but I'm proud that I did it and finished it.
i thought I would feel much more satisfied after finishing since I've been waiting to complete a WOD with muscle ups since I started trying to get them. But they were far from flawless reps. Not total extension on the dip part on all except 2 or 3 in the beginning. The transition was easy every time. Only 3 totally failed attempts around rep 25.
Looks like I have LOTS of room for improvement on this one

Five and a half minutes faster than last time. Around 5 or 6 misses. I set up speedbagforum.com's workout timer to ring every 10 seconds, but my body's just not ready to go that fast.
As I was washing the dishes and contemplating the pain in my calluses, I had a vision of Coach G. laughing as he reads these posts saying "there's another jackass that did 120/120!"
Next time I'm doing 30 ring pull ups and 30 ring dips until I actually get a muscle up. I can't even imaging how sore I'm going to be from this. It's a matter of skill transfer, not just brute strength so 4:1 seems a bit extreme (after trying it out).
BTW, I already posted my time @ #237 so I'm not just ranting. I'm the jackass he's laughing at!

Does anyone else think that dips on top of a pull up bar are harder than rings?
I can do more ring dips(23) than on top of bar dips(16). I know stablization is harder on rings and it has a greater ROM, but the on top of bar dip is akward.
BTW Speal's time made me fall off my chair. 3:40!!!!!!!!!!!!!Freakin 3:40!!!!!! come on man! That's just not fair. That's so amazing it's stupid.

I figure I can do the 30 MU, but I'd lose the intensity just trying to squeeze them out. So, I decided to do the 120/120. Did it with a newly-introduced friend and he went at it with all the enthusiasm of a fanatic convert.

Vu Nguyen Comment 305,
Bar MU's differ by technique mostly, there is some stabilization in the ring MU that you don't have in the Bar MU but there is some power in the Bar MU that you don't need in the ring MU's. So they differ by degree not output.

Hey Coach,
Could you clarify what constitutes an rx'd muscle-up for this workout? I think there are at least a significant minority of us who would like to see it spelled out as a full ROM kipping muscle-up on the rings, from full lockout to full extension.
Can we get some guidance?

pu's/dips
(2 1/2 minutes slower than last time)
Once again, no rings and I can't do a bar muscle-up; torn ligament in left shoulder precludes 100% full hang and also precludes lots of reps; duplicated what I did last time except w/ 45lb plate hanging from weight belt instead of 40lb DB.

that was hard. not sure how anyone does 30 real muscle-ups...
Warm-up: 5 minutes on C-2 rower
For time:
120 pull-ups using green band assist (sets of 10 throughout, except when I slipped out of the band in round 8 or so--cost me some time to get back in the darn thing)
120 bench dips (sets of 10/10/10/7,3/7,3/6,4/6,4/6,4/6,4/6,4/5,3,2/5,3,2)
16:23
Compared to 15:58 9/23/07 (and 13:59 on 10/22/07 when I inadvertently only did 110 of each)
Time is pretty comparable to 9/23 due to the band mishap. Able to do more bench dips consecutively this time as well.

I came up with a modified set of rings but didn’t have a great spot to suspend them from. I spent about 20 minutes experimenting with modified Muscle Ups and ended doing 30 but knew they were too modified so I did 40 Pull-ups (combination of dead-hang and what little kip I can get) and 40 regular dips in 10 minutes to give me a 30 minute workout. Because I started out experimenting, I forgot to stretch or warm up!

so i go to the gym today with a sprained wrist from yesterday thinking i'll try to get a muscle up (since i had never gotten one before) then see if i can even do dips. i try once and fail. then rynoGSX says lift your hips up higher on the kip. could it be that easy?
so i pull, lift my hips up higher and before i can even think about what's happening my head is up in the rafters and i'm locked out on the rings! didn't even feel hard. so i dropped and did another one and dropped and did another one.
did a few more and then decided i would just do the workout.
30 muscle ups: 17:07
had about 7 or 8 misses in there. just took my time and got all the movements dialed in. it was great. from zero to 30 mu! so thanks to todd for teaching me at the cert to trace my chest with my thumbs when pulling through the rings and thanks to ryno for telling me to lift my hips. next time that time comes way way down.
so a great crossfit day for me. i'm all smiles sitting here eating my pork tenderloin, oranges, almonds and chugging down my 8th glass of milk for the day.

I'm tired and was'nt going to post tonight but that damn NY Times article really bugs me. They talk about CrossFit as an internet phenominon. The difference between this and other internet sites is that it has a WEALTH of information and inspiring videoes and not in one click of the mouse does any one ask for my credit card number. All this outstanding educational information is FREE! OK I'm getting off the "soap box". 120 x 120 in 18:57. Nite all...:)

I'll be looking for a sub-10 next time...
I just did barbara for my first CF workout ever today. I went through and picked it out of the women's names. Since I'm such a whimpy weight lifter and paid no attention to pull ups in my other routine. I dropped them down to 15 and only did 3 rounds. Air squats are simply awesome. No one would ever know how much of a workout you get from those. People were looking at me like i was crazy. I LOVE IT! JT

brought all my gear to work, 2 75# barbells, 20" ply box, CII rower, and subbed 1 pood KB swing for 20# Wall ball, ran my platoon through 5 at a time. They loved and hated it at the same time.
Scores ranged from 150 to 274. Pukie almost reared his ugly face a few times for many of the guys. I scored 274.

Don't remember what my time was last time (apparently I didn't post it), but I do remember that I did at least half of both the pull-ups and the dips assisted. This time I did ALL of them unassisted (pull-ups were kipping, and at the end they got a bit ugly, since I tore both my hands at about 85, but eff it, I did 'em). So I feel like it was a solid victory.

Yeah, ring pull ups and ring dips. Did the full 120 ring PUs then over to the ring dips for 25. Finished with 95 regular dips. One day, the MU will be conquered. BTW, ring PUs and ring dips are so much harder than regular PUs and dips.

I tried to do one every 15 seconds. I missed one on rep 24 which slowed me down. Kipping was very necessary.
Experiencing how jumping pull-ups led to negatives led to singles led to consecutive kips led to consecutive stricts led to more consecutive kips in pull-ups has made me a lot more patient and positive with subs, scales and assists in other movements.
It's all just a part of the journey now. :)

Re: Rainier Cert
I had a great time there and highly recommend going to a cert to anyone and everyone. I didn't imagine that fundamentals could be so fun to learn, and boy did they hammer away at the basics. I feel much more informed now about the foundations of CrossFit, both the movements and the point of view of fitness.
There's only one thing I felt was missing at the cert: I wish there had been more of an effort to encourage socialization. I was a fish out of water in WA, and the two days had a very get in, do your thing, get out kind of feel to me. So that this will be constructive criticism, I have four suggestions as to how to encourage more camaraderie: 1) an icebreaker--just a simple who are you, where are you from, why are you here so everyone can see all the perspectives in the group. 2) a team workout--hooverball, carrying people, anything that will encourage people to get to know their partners. 3) Set aside some time to read an article with multiple points of view and discuss it, much like what is done every day on the HQ website. 4) Listing (athletic) events in the area, if any.
Anyway, all in all it was incredible. And as you all probably know, they fill up fast. So sign up now!

Decided to raise the rings and do jumping muscle ups. I put the rings so they just barely touched the top of my head, and went for it.
I could do about 5 in a row this way and got to work the 2nd half of the transition (not a great Lat workout tho). For MU the next time, raise rings at least another inch, perhaps 2 on the very next go.
30 jumping mu - 20 mins or so.

31:43 (PR) subbed ring pullups and ring dips
did 70 of each broken down into sets of 40 of each and 30 of each with smaller subsets:
Ring PU's - 4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2 = 40
Ring dips - 4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 = 40
Ring PU's - 4-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 = 3-
Ring dips - 4-3-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2 = 30
Last time I did 60 of each in two sets one of 50 and one of 10 and it took me over 44 minutes

Followed 7x1RM CJ WOD
I am unable to do MUs at this point, but I thought I would try to do them with a little kick off the floor to assist the transition between PU and dip. Rings are close to the ground, so I have to do L/N PUs to start. Negatives seem helpful, though. Maybe I'll get this done as rx'd soon...
13:55 with my cheater MUs.

Muscle ups jumping, negatives rings at 5'2" (I'm 5'3").
First time doing them all negatives, but rings were a bit shorter (last time at 5'3")
11+ not sure exactly, by a clock w/o seconds but less than 12. My last time for jumping/nonnegative was 11:36, so I'll take it.
