Worked on my ring muscle up progressions… false grip hang, ring pullups, ring kipping.

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

  • 4 x Bar Muscle Ups
  • 7 x Handstand Pushups
  • 12 x Dumbbell Snatch @ 50lbs (22kg)

Results:  Had to quit after 6 rounds plus 4 muscle ups, 7 HSPU and 3 Snatches because I tore my skin on my right hand doing muscle ups.  I think it was at the 15 minute mark.  Second time this has happened here :-(.  First time was about a week ago where I tore a piece of my palm doing muscle ups.  Must be something with the new bars.

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes do:

  • 8 x Weighted Dips @ 16kg
  • 8 x Plyometric Pushups

Then do AMRAP in 16 minutes of:

  • 25 x Double Unders
  • 10 x Dumbbell Thrusters @ 12kg per hand
  • 5 x Strict Pullups

Results:  Since the new gym in the apartments doesn’t have a Dip station, did dips on a bench with my feet on a large medicine ball and a 16kg weight in my lap.  Did plyo pushups with one hand on a small medicine ball and alternated back and forth switching which hand was on the ball (like on the Bozu).  For the AMRAP did 9 rounds plus 25 Double Unders.
