Got some Gymnastics Rings for Christmas so I can begin working on Muscle Ups again….

Take 15 minutes and work on muscle up progressions

Then EMOM for 20 minutes (10 rounds of each) do the following.  Break as needed to get full range of motion.

  • Even minute – 5 x Strict Bar Pullups
  • Odd minute – 5 x Strict Ring Dips

Then EMOM for 5 minutes

  • 8 x Russian Twists @ 16kg (over and back is one rep)

Then EMOM for 5 minutes

  • 10 x Knee Tucks

Results:  Really lost strength on the false grip.  It was the key to getting a muscle up.  Ring Dips went well.

Based on the CF Invictus WOD from December 14.

Four rounds of

  • 4-6 x Strict Press @ 110lbs/50kg
  • Rest 30 seconds
  • 45 Second Side Plank each Side
  • Rest 30 Seconds

Then five sets for max reps of Dips…

Complete in 60 seconds:

  • 15 x Burpees
  • Max reps Unbroken Dips

Rest 60 seconds between sets.

Then not for time

Results:  First part was good, kept to 6 reps except the last round when only did 5.  Second part was surprisingly difficult… 15 Burpees leaves only around 15-20 seconds to get the dips in… 22 Dips total (8-5-3-3-3).

Looks like an interesting workout from CF Invictus …

Every 2 minutes for 40 minutes rotate through the 4 stations (5 rounds of each station). Do all rounds (except at station 2) unbroken and maintain a steady pace to complete all reps in 30 seconds.

  • Station 1 – 6 – 8 x Deadlift
  • Station 2 – Max Pushups in 60 seconds
  • Station 3 – 20 x Alternating Reverse Lunge (total) with Kettlebell in Goblet Hold
  • Station 4 – 6 – 8 x Dumbbell Overhead Press

For station 1 and 4, increase weights each round if you can do all 8 reps

Results: 1.  135/155/170/185/205lbs (updated on Nov17 since my original entries were wrong)  2. 43/33/32/31/28 reps  4.  14/16/18/18/18kg  Next time start at a higher Deadlift weight since even at 205lbs was able to complete the 8.
