EMOM for 10 minutes

  • 1 x Strict Ring Muscle Up from Floor

4 rounds of

  • 6-8 x Tempo Bench Press @ 65-70% of 3RM (3 second ascent/3 second descent)

Then the Crossfit WOD from Dec. 18, 5 rounds for time of

  • 15 x Push Press/Jerk @ 75lbs
  • 12 x Pullups
  • 9 x Sumo Deadlift High Pulls @ 75lbs

Results: Bench Press 8-8-7-7. Metcon: 14:34

Been focusing on Muscle Ups for a couple of weeks now. Seeing if adding regular volume will allow me to get the strength to do a real slow strict movement. Planning the same for Handstands, wondering if spending just 5-10 minutes 2-3 times per week will help me finally get stable.
