Awesome, been wanting to do this for a while. Really excited.
Muscle ups! Awesome been waiting a while for these.
Congrats on the level 2 KJ! We are all honored to have you at CrossFit Montana.
Still crook with an infection. Hoping to get back into it tomorrow. Props to the FRAT
Yeayuhh!
gonna try to beat my last pr, 9:42. 3-2-1 GO!
Oh My God... no MU's for this kid so... 120 PU and Dips?!?!?!
YES! Gonna Hurt So Good, Mwahahahahaha ... Can't wait...
Had a strange premonition about MU's.
Thanks Coach!
if i am going to do the pullups and dips, how do i break them up, or do i do all of one then all of the other?
I'm ready. Last time I got a 4:16 so this time my goal is to get sub 4.....there's only one way to find out!
#7
me too. We GOT to learn those MUs!
damn wish there was a way here to do the muscles ups. definitely would rather do that than 120 PUs/Dips.
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?
My favorite exercise!!! PROPS TO THE FRAT!!!!
Heal soon Rookie
Big hugs and bad english for all
WOW! had to sit out last few days with flu and fever, hoping to get back in it tomorrow!!!
WOW...This is gonna suck....No MU's for me, so I am gonna have some F*#ked up hands after tomorrow....
I have to get some rings!!!
God I can't wait. I just got my first muscle up two weeks ago, Looking foreward to the damage this is going to do.
so is it 4 PU then 4 dips, or if is it all 120 pull ups then 120 dips?
To all my fellow brethren who haven't passed there level 2 on the the first attempt, or even second attempt KEEP honing your craft! Don't know if third time was a charm but excited to be in the fraternity! Thanks Todd, Boz, Annie, and Dave for a great weekend. Lee Pappas
man i REALLY REALLY need a pair of rings for my birthday
Congrats to Meg and Nikki from Crossfit KoP for their completion of the Level I Certification in CT. Everyone at CFKoP is proud of you two.
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).
Great cert this weekend held by Chuck Carswell and his crew, thank you to EC, Jen, Dennis, Pat, and Jon for all the information and the time to glean the CrossFit methodology from you! Thank you to Lisbeth and her crew from CrossFit Watertown for hosting the Cert! Congrats to all the new recently obtained Level I peeps, lets make the Trainers proud!
cant wait to see 30sec for hinch on this one.
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 #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.
#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.
what about subbing jumping MU's?
OMG what if I can't do any of those?! LMAO!
Re: #29
Get a band to assist your pullups and dips
#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.
I can't wait, gotta beat my PR. 6:34. Get fired up! 3...2...1...Go!!!
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. :)
just did my 1st muscle up!
what a WOD to celebrate!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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?
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?
22 Y/O, 5'6", 153#
Just did this a few days ago and got a new PR as RX'ed 3:00 min flat! PR by 2 minutes!
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.
ah this is when I need my rings to show up TODAY.
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.

who's soooo not looking forward to this? this guy.
I just did this wod today, but i did the middle 10 mu's with a 12# vest on.
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
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.

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.
(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.
Hi guys, sorry to go off topic.
My beautiful girlfriend Jenny Werba just passed her Level 2 cert on her FIRST TRY!
She is probably the most empathetic person I know and wants to genuinely make everyone around her better (me included)
She's fantastic, and I'm just happy to be here to see it :-)

Posted my time earlier for 120/120, but now after lunch I can see the black/purple/blue blister forming under my right ring finger callus. Probably didn't help that I cashed out with a few 90% clean and jerks...

Anyone out there had shoulder surgery (had the clavicle/AC area shaved due to arthritis)?
How long before you got back in the saddle (FULLY)?
I want to gauge progress if possible. Had the op 4 weeks ago.
thanks,

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!!
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.

#63 Simon--have had 3 reconstructive operations on the left shoulder for chronic dislocation. Last one was 15 years ago so my memory on recovery time is pretty bad. Would only encourage you to take it slow and be careful so you don't reinjure.

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.
damn ive forseen it.

#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.
120 each of pull-ups and dips: 16:10
14:45 PU and Dips, 70 each (m u s t s t o p . . .)
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

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

Great Cert @ Watertown. Amazing staff and one hell of a group of people there getting certified. Thanks again and hope to see some of you guys around the CrossFit Block.
17:40 did 12 rounds of 10 pullups and 10 dips totaling 120 of each. Can't do bar muscle-ups because a wall is in the way. Started out trying to do a round a minute but took a half time break at 60 to shake it all out.
Can't feel my arms/chest, my ass is still on fire from the pistol squats and now I have to go to jiu jitsu. Guess its gonna be an all defense day.

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!

Kinda new to CF. I can do MUs but it just seams to me that 120 pullups and dips seams like a way better work out. Any one care to elaborate the benefits of the MU...
Level I Cert at North Santa Cruz this weekend was fantastic. Adam, Jason, Josh, Drew, Freddy, Chong, and Jolie: thank you so much! The experience, information, presentation, and community is all so great.
When people say "living the dream," at my job, I usually roll my eyes. But I could have said it sincerely this weekend.

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!

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!!!

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.

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.

120 dips with bodyweight only
These were divided into 30 sets of 4 a piece

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

My rings are outside hanging from a tree and it started to rain really hard. The last 5 of each were in the rain and they took about 5 min to hit them with out slipping. So i called it a night.
I cannot do a muscle up yet. I cannot get the transition part down to save my life. I turned off the clock and did ring dips and pullups until I could not do them any more. Tried to do double unders and then did max push ups so I could feel like I accomplished something.

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.

Lost an indeterminate amount of time adjusting the ring height between the exercises.
Warmup included 5 bw dips, 5 bw pull-ups.

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.
All legit MU. All were singles, unable to string together, but felt strong through all 30.
How do you NOT lose your false grip on the negative?? I always do.

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.

First time doing this WOD. It's a beauty.
~10:00
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.

I was so excited to get this WOD done that I missed reps because I wasn't focused on the task at hand and tried to rush through it... oh well.
My time: 18:15
My PR: 12:20
At least I can look on the bright side and I didn't go over 20 minutes! :)
At the end, as I was breaking down the rings, the metal latch just had to come flying at me and bonk me in the shoulder... Thanks for reminding me about me not getting a PR!
I tried to avoid scrapes but my right wrist got burned. Oh well...

P.S. this WOD is my newest favorite now! :)
C: 7:40 rings above head level and minimal jump assist
BG: 10:25 1st 15 w/ toe support, 2nd 15 rings at eye level and jumping
hung the rings on a tree outside of the football stadium, heat index = 95 degrees. filthiness.
um no rings around here so did pull ups, pushups.
-Still working on getting more pull ups. My limit of true pull ups was 10. Then I started doing assisted pull ups with real pull ups subbed in whenever I could manage.
30 pullups, 40 pushups.
I took it easy on the push ups today. I still can't walk from the pistols on Saturday!

Thank you to Andy, Freddy, Chong, Josh, Jason, Jolie, Drew, CSNSC, and all the CrossFit staff for such a great cert experience. You guys did an incredible job and we were fortunate to learn from such talented and knowledgeable athletes.
My brain is crammed with information from the whole weekend and am eager to start applying it. The experience is legit from start to finish and very well orchestrated. If only a paleo/zone-friendly lunch was served, it would have been the icing on the cake =).

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.

I definitely could have gone closer to 9 if I'd had my rings hung in a better position. They weren't hung quite high enough which made it hard to finish the movement at the top. Good night CF nation!
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.

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
