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.

Warm up with 200 Double Unders, then work on Ring Muscle Ups and Handstands.

Shortened version of the CFI workout from 22 September 2016:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

  • Row 250 Meters
  • 10 x Thrusters (95/65 lbs)

Rest 7 minutes

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

  • 20 x Box Jumps (24″/20″)
  • 10 x Ring Dips

Results:  Success on all fronts.  For the warm up got in 105 unbroken double unders, then got my first muscle up (then proceeded to do 5 more, including 2 in a row) and was able to hold a handstand for around 5 seconds.  For the metcon, in the first part, I got 2 rounds plus 250m row and 5 Thrusters, for the second part got 3 rounds plus 20 box jumps and 5 ring dips.
