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.
