Comment #11 - Posted by: Vincentvanh at October 4, 2009 6:57 PM

damn wish there was a way here to do the muscles ups. definitely would rather do that than 120 PUs/Dips.

Comment #12 - Posted by: Copy 21/5'6/168 at October 4, 2009 6:57 PM

Feedback Please: As I am not doing the MU's - should I do all 120 PU's followed by the dips or should I alternate them (1 PU - 1 Dip x 120)?

It seems to me that (1 PU+1 Dip) x 120 is much closer to emulating the MU movement. Ideas?

Debate for Bar vs Rings~
Still a 1:1 ratio? Bar MUs seem kind of easy, even though I cheat with them (left arm shrugs up first, almost always).

Copy 21/5'6/168 at October 4, 2009 6:57 PM

Copy you could look at the Journal for Tuckers MU progression and do scaled MU. The first time I did scaled MU I thought this is going to be way easier than 120 pu/dips. After the first 10 I changed my mind.

Comment #9 - Posted by: Rosy at October 4, 2009 6:57 PM
Comment #19 - Posted by: Jeff at October 4, 2009 7:08 PM

It's not Angie so you can break it up into sets how ever you like.Or you can do it angie style. Just document it in your notes when you record. When I start I have grand ambitions of doing 12 reps per set. By the time I get to rep 90 I'm breaking it up into reps of 4 per set.

But if you have rings I highly recommend the scaled MU.

Comment #27 - Posted by: jakers at October 4, 2009 7:26 PM

#9 and #13 - most do the MU alternative however they can. Break up the total into sets that you can manage switching between PU's and dips. If you're up for pain with a side of suck, do the full 120 PU's then 120 dips. Either way, just go at it.

Re: #29

Get a band to assist your pullups and dips

Comment #31 - Posted by: cloudraker at October 4, 2009 7:48 PM

#23- Adam S.
Re: bar vs. rings, I find the rings allow less restriction with movement as you have a straight pull path, whereas the bar provides an obstacle that must be pulled around. The rings with kip require less pull height, in my opinion, and easier transfer to the dip. The dip movement is where I see the bar being easier, as your pull height, usually to the xyphoid process, places you in a higher dip position. I, too, get the left arm shrug, with both variations, at times. There is a video with the bar muscle up, involving a bar false grip and a straight pull up with no shrug. Take a look at that for possible help with tech.
Personally, I do not have access to rings and find the high rep sub of PU and dips dissimilar in work, so I will use a bar for time. As I missed Sunday's WOD, due to unexpected weekend offer on my condo and subsequent bidding taking up my entire day, this WOD will work well when making up Sunday's WOD on Tuesday with its opposite pull direction.

had a hell of a time at the Level 1 in Watertown, GREAT box (Lis rules), EXCELLENT training crew. Chuck, Dennis, Jen, EC, Gilson and Manimal all did a great job in teaching us the CrossFit methods. You will see me at a level 2 one day, but as Chuck says... not for a year. :)

Comment #34 - Posted by: Jay Ashman at October 4, 2009 7:53 PM

what a WOD to celebrate!

Comment #35 - Posted by: inez at October 4, 2009 7:59 PM

Just completed my Level I in CT today. What an awesome experience. I'd recommend the Level I to anyone who is committed to CF. It is money well spent.

The information and instruction was excellent. However, I have to say, my biggest takeaway will be the professionalism, dedication, energy and enthusiasm of the the trainers. They truly set the bar high.

Thanks to CF Watertown & Chuck, EC, Dennis, Pat, Jen and Jon.

Comment #36 - Posted by: Jack at October 4, 2009 8:00 PM

Can't do muscleups yet, but will be doing the pull-ups and dips first thing in the AM. Get up for it!!!

Many Thank Yous to all of the trainers Chuck, Jon, Jen, Pat, EC & Dennis at the Level I at Crossfit Watertown. More Thank Yous to Elisa & Jen at the box for hosting. Definitely opened my eyes to alot of things & brought more things full circle. Congrats to Pat on the C&J PR & Chuck I still owe you $9. If only everyday was like either day this weekend.

Comment #38 - Posted by: David Hargis at October 4, 2009 8:41 PM

just got home from the level 1 cert at Crossfit North Santa Cruz. big thanks to all the trainers, Adam, Kalipa, Everett, Drew, Freddy, Chong, and Jolie.You guys were great. Tons of information, and great feedback. Had a blast. Thanks to Cross NSC for hosting, awesome box.

To anyone thinking about getting certed, go for it. Just don't run any wods the day before involving 135 squat cleans/ghd situps because my legs were fried! Fran killed me!

Comment #39 - Posted by: josh w at October 4, 2009 8:52 PM

What an experience at the Level 1 Cert in Watertown! First off, Lis and Jen run an awesome box and had an excellent crew helping them out all weekend. I feel fortunate that Crossfit HQ send some of the best trainers they have. Chuck, EC, Pat, Jon, Jen and Dennis all shared their knowledge with us. It was interesting to see how each of them coaches. I took something away from each of them and they all took time to answer any questions we had. I learned a tremendous amount over the weekend and will bring it back to the box.

Comment #40 - Posted by: Brian (The Viking) Neary at October 4, 2009 8:53 PM

don't have access to rings nor do i know how to do a muscle up. i'll have to sub with pull ups and dips.

however, sadly, i'm unable to do pull ups. i was exploring the faqs with different subs for pull ups and it mentions.. "All of these have the advantage that they are neurologically more valuable than the fairly un-natural motion of locking your knees under a pad and moving just your arms . . . in all of these, your arms are going to be drawing your whole body up . . . you will progress toward "full" pullups faster."

so i think i'll definitely try the pure negatives rather than the assisted pull up machine. also, the reduced load pullups seem a little confusing. i tried that last time and it felt more like a row with my back towards the ground. does anyone know where i can possibly find a video of this?

Comment #41 - Posted by: esb at October 4, 2009 9:08 PM

i have a quick question regarding reduced load pullups that's in the faqs.

when i tried this a few days ago, it felt more like a row, with my back to the ground. not sure if i'm doing them correctly.. would anyone know where to find a demo of this pull up variation?

Comment #43 - Posted by: Mason at October 4, 2009 9:20 PM

I don't think it is fair to compare the times of 30 MU vs. 120 pullups/120 dips. It should definitely be recorded as 2 different workouts. I have never had the luxury of oly rings, so it is easier for me to rationalize 30 muscle ups as being easier than the 120 pair. One of these days I will get on those evasive rings.

120/120----> 15:01

Started out with 20 strict, then 7 strict, the rest kipped sets of 3. Matched each set of pullups with the same # of dips.

Comment #44 - Posted by: USA Allen in UK (m30/5'11"/199) at October 4, 2009 9:24 PM

ah this is when I need my rings to show up TODAY.

Comment #45 - Posted by: lkeclvrt at October 4, 2009 9:27 PM

Unless your shoulders are very healthy, and you have done many muscle-ups in past workouts with no problems. Don't do 30 for time! And don't attempt 120 pull-ups and dips for time either.

If this is your first time, and you can do a muscle-up, but have only done one or two, then do 7 or so this time around. Work up to 15-20. 30 for time is probably a bit too many for most.

Threw my rings up in a tree on Bascom Hill on the UW Madison Campus -- I definitely received tons of looks form people walking by

Comment #49 - Posted by: Captain Crunch in Madison at October 4, 2009 9:41 PM

This is my first attempt at muscle ups, I thought they would be some what easy. I'm glad no one was around to see my first attempt. I settled for the 120's with no problem, but was only able to do 90 of each due to blisters forming on both my hands.

Rx'd 8:58

Rings were too low to hang all the way down and kip. I did 10 in a row and then could only do sets of 3 or less after that. By the end I was doing singles kipping from a basket hang. I probably could have had a much faster time if I had not worn myself out on the first set considering I did the first fifteen in under two minutes. I'll probably pace myself more in the beginning next time.
-----------------
Chris 20/185/5'9"

Chris can't get muscle-ups yet and is really shaky on the rings. We thought he should get used to them so we subbed the dips for ring-pushups. We just put the rings on the Smith machine and raised the bar to a level where the rings were just barely off the floor. He subbed pullups for under the bar rows (feet on bench, chest to bar).

20 sets of 5 each, alternating: 14:55.

Just wanted to say that I had a fantastic time at the cert in North Santa Cruz. The training staff was very helpful/supportive and the host facility was phenomenal.

Comment #53 - Posted by: Chris Howerton at October 4, 2009 11:17 PM

(1 PU+1 Dip) x 120 = 30 MUs?

What? That is nuts. Sorry, but someone is using some crazy A math here.

Guess I better get online and buy the rings, I get it, ha. Want to sell some equipment huh?

Well maybe that is not as nuts as doing 30 cleans a day after doing 55 one legged squats.

These WODs will make you a monster, or break your butt bad.

If you are an old dude or out of shape, or prone to muscle pulls, take your time on this stuff - listen to you body because being broke is not the point.

How long before you got back in the saddle (FULLY)?

I want to gauge progress if possible. Had the op 4 weeks ago.

Comment #66 - Posted by: Simon at October 5, 2009 4:03 AM

Made the foolish assumption that this would be fairly simple..
Attempted bar MUs.. 15 mins later realised it wasn't going to happen! Did pullups and dips to compensate, but nowhere near 120 as i was already dead from my bar MU attempts! Killer workout, and i'm gonna order my rings straight away!!

Comment #67 - Posted by: Patrick at October 5, 2009 4:09 AM

This past weekend at the Level I Cert at Crossfit Watertown was a truly positive experience; I have gained a deeper understanding and true appreciation of the real meaning of Crossfit; I know what "constantly varied, functional movement, and High Intensity" truly means and feel confident explaining it to other athletes so that they can feel comfortable knowing that what they are practicing will only benefit them in their everyday lives.......SUPER staff of trainers; I was so impressed with their "classroom" lectures, the time spent with the group exercises, and just their overall bubbly personalities; that was what made the learning so effortless and fun!! Thank you Crossfit Watertown!!

Larry #51-

You're right, it's definitely not equivalent as far as work goes, but they typically make the subs nasty to encourage you to learn the Rx'd movement. Think of tuck jumps as a sub for double unders--if you can do double unders they're not that taxing, but there's no way to make tuck jumps less painful.

And all the pullups and dips will help you build strength where you need it to learn a muscleup, especially if you do ring pullups and go to full depth on the dips.

No jump offs, no failed attempts. Set my timer at 10 seconds and stood with it for 20 muscle-ups, but fell a little behind later on (had to shake out and chalk). Sub 5 seems doable now.
The first time I ever did this it took me more than 30 minutes. Back then, the transition phase was crucial, now the ring dip part becomes the hardest towards the end.

#63 Simon

In early May I had an acromioplasty (i think that it is what you are referring to when you say bone shaving) plus a Grade 3 SLAP repair, biceps debridement and a sub-acromial decompression.

My surgeon said 3 months before I do anything and 6 months for full recovery.

I started yoga 1 month ago to begin to get some basic strength and full ROM back.

In the last week I have dabbled in some very light thrusters and PC's.

In my opinion, take it easy, gradual and inside the pain. Recovery is slow and frustrating but better than starting from scratch with a whole new surgery.

Pre-Crossfit, I thought I was in half-decent shape. Crossfit told me otherwise. Thanks a lot!
I really appreciate the things I'm learning from Crossfit, the Muscle-Ups being one of them. (still trying to get it, though)

I agree with the concept that you're not really fit if you can't do Crossfit stuff. You guys who can do this stuff, you are really tough!

taking the day off.. yesterdays wod killed me. felt my back tense up real bad and just didnt think it would be smart to press on-especially because i worked all day after my workout. this morning shoulders hurting, so it's probably a good idea to take a day off- escecially because i dont have any rings. oh well

Scaled this one back just a little and had to do the PUs/DIPS. Did 60/60 in 19:58. I devoloped a pinching pain in the back of my right shoulder (posterior deltoid area).

I never know how muscle-ups are going to go on any given day…they’re one of those things that feel great sometimes, terrible other times. Today went well, though. I decided to take it easy; last time, I sprinted out of the gate too quickly, got halfway through at 2:30, and proceeded to crash and burn, finishing at 9+ minutes. So, at a steady pace, I got through without much difficulty and only missed one (of course, it was the final one!). I think practicing my HSPUs lately has helped; the dips were much easier than usual.

30 muscle-ups
7:34 PR (35 seconds faster than previous PR in May; also, 7 pounds heavier now)

Breakdown:
10@1:48
15@3:11
20@4:32
25@6:02
30@7:34

Interesting to see that after the first 10, my average time is consistently about 1:25 for each 5 muscle-ups.

Comment #101 - Posted by: Laura DeMarco -CrossFit Rx at October 5, 2009 8:30 AM

Question: If I can do ring dips do I do 30 ring dips plus 120 pullups? I can do some ring pullups but I can not get the transition to save my life. Well maybe to save my life but not just practicing in the garage.

Celebration day! My first Muscle Ups!

I’ve always backed out of trying muscle ups, and stick to the pull up / dip substitution.

Today - I gritted my teeth and focused on learning the Muscle Up. I didn’t watch the time at all, and just focused on skill. Here’s the progression that worked for me:

1. I watched all the videos I could, and read about muscle ups in the “ringtraining.com” manual that came with my rings.
2. A good warm up, raining body temp and focusing on ROM in the upper body.
3. Squating MU’s - 5 reps
4. Sitting MU’s - 5 reps
5. Jumping MU’s - 5 reps
6. Progression of Jumping MU’s, with raising the rings in small increments - everything still felt strong and “on” - 6 reps total.
7. I raised the rings and then stood on a 10” plyo box to enable me to get a good false grip. Once I had the grip, I let my feet leave the plyo box and did my first full “real” Muscle Up from a dead hang!

I wound up cranking out 15 muscle ups without assistance - mainly in singles and doubles, yet managed one triple (3 in a row).

Yep…celebration is in order!

First ever Crossfit workout. Didn't have rings so I went with the 120/120...kind of. I did about 30 regular pull-ups, then tried the kipped pull-up, but couldn't quite get it right. I had to switch to assisted pull-ups (about 70 lbs of support and I weigh 170lbs). The dips I had no problem with whatsoever. Alternated sets looked like:

Pull-Ups: 16-14-15(a)-15(a)-15(a)-15(a)-15(a)-15(a)

Dips: 20-20-15-15-15-15-10-10

Looking forward to learning and getting better at this!

m/26/68"/165#
120 Pull-ups/dips - haven't done muscle ups before and I didn't have a spot to attempt.

Time was about 23 minutes - didn't have my stop watch with me so I was using the clock on the wall.

This could have been better - I stopped a couple of times during the course to show someone how to use the KB (didn't stop the clock - but I didn't rest either - demonstrated a bunch of moves) and also had the pull-up bar and dip bars across the room from each other, so I spent a lot of time walking briskly back and forth across the gym. I'd like to see how I do on this one again another time.

Thanks to all the trainers at the Level I Cert in Watertown this weekend. You are all so incredibly skilled at what you do. They are 1st class with their teaching of trainers and technique executed. It was so much fun to watch you all work out Snatch (whoo hoo) and C&J on Sunday. Your training of each other while doing the WOD was invaluable. Liz, your box is amazing. Great to meet the Watertown crew and new friends; especially the girls from Malvern, PA (thanks again for the Fran juice), Jack in New Palz, and my Jazzercise amiga. I was so pumped to get back into CF Milford this morning. Hecho en Crossfit!!!

then decided to do make up Saturdays workout after that. did it in 15:46.

not happy about my hand though. I don't want to take time off.

anyone have suggestions on how to care for a hand that's been ripped at the callous. no blood, just new flesh underneath 'revealed'.

total 120 pullups + 120 ring dips.

For athletes having trouble with ROM with dips get them to wear a weighted vest, it will take them to the bottom.

Did the muscle-ups last night and already posted.

Today: "Death By Deck of Cards", a brutal workout I picked up at NW CrossFit (awesome people, btw) over the summer.

Hearts= Overhead Squats
Clubs= Power Cleans
Diamonds= Power Snatch
Spades= Push Press

Number Cards= value on card, Jack=11, Queen=12, King=13, Ace=14,

Joker= 1 (very short) minute of rest.

So a 7 of hearts= 7 overhead squats. King of Spades= 13 Push Presses etc.

Shuffled the deck and stormed through all 52 cards for time. Works out to be 104 reps of each exercise.
---------------
Kevin 21/190/5'7"

90lbs in 34:09. The same workout took me 44:19 on 8/4 with 40kg (88lbs). I also managed not to puke this time around. Wiped out.
----------------
Chris 20/185/5'9"

75 lbs in 54:55. The poor guy got 5 clubs in a row, something like 37 consecutive Power Cleans. Great effort. We are both totally spent.

First time posting on mainsite but have been crossfitting and posting on brand x for about a year.

30 muscle-ups(subbed 1 c2b pullup + 1 ring dip per muscle-up)

Time:4.59(pr)
Last time:6.40

I know its not the official sub but I did find the idea in a muscle-up training article in the crossfit journal. I believe its a closer sub than 5 pullups/dips and gives me the ability to achieve similar times. I have no room to hang my rings to allow for muscle-up training so I think this is close enough.

Anyone with muscle-ups please correct me if im wrong.

Wow. From reading your posts, you guys are incredible and I realize how far away I am from being in real shape. Here is what I did:

M/39yo/192/5'9"

120 Pullups consisting of:
32 bodyweight only
4 bodyweight - 25 lbs on Pullup assist machine
12 bodyweight - 40 lbs
28 bodyweight - 55 lbs
44 bodyweight - 70 lbs

120 dips with bodyweight only

These were divided into 30 sets of 4 a piece

Time was 34:15. I guess this isn't too bad for my first time.

I also ran for 2.21 miles on the treadmill for 20 minutes after. I am smoked, but I love it.

Only a few true MUs. Plenty of jumping and who knows what else thrown in there. Was going to start this off w/some heavy DL. But, I woke-up this morning with a sore throat and fever that progressed throughout the day. Plus, my core (esp. low back) and legs are crushed from the last two WODs. So I'm just glad I pushed thru the illness. I'll now stop whining like a little hamster and go to bed. So glad tomorrow's a rest day!

48/6'/180 No prob with dips but PU's took a while. Had the worst bar for kipping. wasted a lot of time going back and forth. I see a lot of people did sets of low reps (i.e. 3). I did high reps as possible. i wonder if the low reps is the best way to go for time (of course the PU bar and the dip bar would need to be right next to each other). Got a chance to pick a Xfitter's brain at the gym regarding MU's...so now i will practice. Love it

Do you know how some people have a tendency to pay themselves backhanded compliments when the comment on their workouts?

For example:

"Well, it's already been a week and a half since the lung transplant, so I thought it was about time to give myself a challenge.

I did "Kalsu" as RXed this morning. Was hoping for a new PR, but was really feeling slow, so it took me well over 6 minutes.

Oh, well. Maybe it was the compound fracture of my femur (damn shark attacks), but I didn't notice that until after the workout. Sometimes, my testosterone levels obscure my vision if I haven't had any breakfast."

Anyway, this isn't one of those posts.

My problem is, I'm not very good at pull-ups. Whenever they are prescribed (like today, because I can't do muscle-ups), I do them as fast as possible, until I am blue in the face and shaking from fatigue. Regardless, I am never (ever) even a little bit sore the next day, and I never seem to get any better at them.

I couldn't realistically be happier with my improvement in any phase of my fitness than I am -- except for the pull-ups. I'm sucky at them. I max out at around 8. I always have, and it seems likely that I always will.

So, does anyone have any idea what my problem is, or what I ought to do about it?

I will try anything, up to and including, branding irons, monkey testicle transplants and voodoo dolls.

It would be really cool to do double-digit pull-ups before I die.

Thanks in advance, etc.

Hey Bill, try getting down your kipping pullups, thats what helped me out. I went from consistently around 10 up to a pr of 24 in about 2 and a half months. thats 24 strict pullups but i needed the core strength i got from kipping to do so. It might work for you too bud.

Comment #294 - Posted by: Dan P. at October 5, 2009 6:40 PM

Warmup included 5 bw dips, 5 bw pull-ups.
15 failed muscle-up attempts (I think my problem is a combination of lack of strength, lack of hip propulsion and inexperience using the false grip...)
5 weighted reps (pull and dips) w. 10lbs
15 weighted reps w 25 lbs.
45 body-weight pullups and dips.

Total: 85 pullups (20 weighted), 70 dips (20 weighted)
Time estimate: unavailable---a trainer at my globo gym stopped me midway throughout the workout, mentioned he noticed I've been working on snatches, had a client cancel on him, and offered me a free hour to work on my snatch form). Score one for globo gyms!

I'm not sure I have a kipping pullup. But I've noticed that my pullup is become more and more driven by an explosive hip thrust. Newbie question: this is good, right?

Bill, I don't know how much pullup work you are currently doing but I would start incorporating additional pullup work after completing the WOD (except for when we actually do pullups as part of the workout). I would also try doing some weighted pullup work, without doing the exact same pullup workout every day. Change the pullup excercise each day, even if it is just switching hand position (palms facing towards you one day, away the next, good luck.

Level 1 at Watertown this weekend was unforgettable. To say that I have found the true path for the rest of my life might sound cliche to some, but I believe that other CrossFitters will understand. As a mom of 4 with no athletic background until 2 years ago I have experienced a complete metamorphosis and I owe much of that to CrossFit. This cert only deepened my respect for the unique combination of open-source information sharing and data-dependent INTENSE work that is CrossFit.
Chuck, John, Dennis, Eva Claire, Jenn and Pat- amazing transfer of information. I have spent my entire life in classrooms and learning environments, and you each brought the goods. I feel like I had my brain opened up and two encyclopedias stuffed in... and more importantly I know that this is only the beginning of a life long journey.
Thank you also to Lisbeth, Jen and all the CrossFit Watertown team for being gracious and highly inclusive hosts. I felt the community immediately and profoundly.
And finally, to the Manimal, thanks for the coaching of my husband during that nasty Fran when he could not breathe from the damn asthma... he'll never forget it nor will I.

I tried to work on some Muscle Ups with another Crossfitter before starting the WOD. I know I cannot do them yet, so I wanted to work on it a little before starting. Tried a few and got some awesome advice.

Then I started the WOD doing the Pull ups and Dips. I did sets of 4 PU's and 4 Dips.
For the first 10 sets, I used the rings for the dips. After that (40 ring dips), my ring dips were pretty sad so I used a dip bar for the rest fo my workout.

I only did 20 sets (80 Pull-ups and 80 Dips) and was out of time and my PU's and dips were not looking too hot. Took me 24 minutes to get this all done.

Comment #306 - Posted by: neil at October 5, 2009 7:29 PM

All legit MU. All were singles, unable to string together, but felt strong through all 30.

Anybody looking for a set of rings should check these out.

I bought these about a year ago, and have been really pleased. The price is best I've found. Very strong, solid rings, and they come come with straps too. Excellent grip on them, even without chalk. I used a can of spray Stick-um today to do my muscle ups, and I liked it a ton better than using the chalk. My hands stayed in place, and I was able to put several muscle ups together without coming off the rings.

Blew my load in the beginning trying to set the FOB bar MU record of 15. Failed on 15th. Muscle failure after that made my time much slower than before. All this was compounded by the 10-miler I did the day before. It sapped me more than I thought. Look to keep improving and being able to do this on rings when I get home.

Well, I just saw one that was around 33 minutes, but I was going to say that we've got about the slowest times on the board. Did all 120/120 in sets of 4. Jackson's about 60 lbs lighter (and 8 inches shorter) than me, so he finished a little ahead. His dips were faster, my pull-ups were faster.

120 pull-ups and 120 dips.

Time: 15:47 (PR by over 3 minutes).

Last time, did 12 sets of 10 each. This time, did 8 sets of 15 each. 30 seconds or rest walking from pull-up bar to dip station was well needed.

First 4 sets were ~6:15; last 4 sets were ~9:30.

Left shoulder and biceps feel tired but not sore at all after this - think I am pretty much past the injury (knock on wood). With a little more work, I might be able to do this in 6 sets of 20 each. Ugh, that sounds awful. I think I need to learn how to do a muscle-up.

Did 4 straight off the bat, then 2 sets of two, then singles. It's funny, they don't seem so taxing but the thought of immediately doing another seems impossible.
First Muscle-Up I ever did was about 3 months ago, I guess I can't complain.....very happy with my first attempt!

Still working to get the technique down and very much assisted by starting from the knees and kicking up a bit with the toes for the transition.

First time doing 30 muscle-ups.

Attempted to do the first muscle-up independently for about 7-8 minutes and didn't happen (had trouble with the transition from the PU to the dip position). Finally, got assistance to get the first MU and then was able to kip the next 3 or 4 MU by myself. Able to do the next two rounds like that. Then had assistance with the transition for each rep to complete the rest of the 30 MU.

Definitely, would have had a better time if I had assistance with the start of the first MU.

Subbed 4x pull-ups and ring dips. After 18 rounds (~21 min.) had to use rubber band assist for the dips. Total time ~36 minutes.

2/1 ratio seated muscle ups

As Rx: 17:50 ... horrible.. that's like 7 minutes or more than what i was going for. I was NOT going ot count any half reps. 100% legit, but the real problem was that I had to keep adjusting the rings becuase one was continuously slipping down so after about 14 I decided to just remove the lower rings and just use the upper ones... much much better.. after that I went a lot faster... I'll start that way next time... also this was my first really early WOD in a while.. 6 am firing is a little slower, but a fun WOD none the less... finihsed with some clean & jerk technique and streatching
