That was a great 3 days of training. Great job by everyone.

Congratulations to Jeff! He got his first Muscle Up on Wednesday. The Muscle Up club continues to grow. Here’s who gotten up: Jose, Matt, Rocky and Jeff. Way to go!

If you’ve yet to get up there don’t worry. Here’s an excerpt from the Crossfit Journal from Nov. 2002: The Muscle Up is astonishingly difficult to perform, unrivaled in building upper body strength, a critical survival skill and most amazingly of all virtually unknown. Though containing a pull up and a dip, its potency is due to neither. The heart of the muscle up is in the transition from pull up to dip- the agonizing movement when you don’t know if you’re above or below. That moment- the transition- can last from fractions to dozens of seconds. At low, deliberate speeds, the muscle up takes a toll physically and psychologically that can only be justified by the benefit. No other movement can deliver the same upper body strength. Period. This Frankenstein’s monster combination of pull up and dip gives the exercise advantages that render it supreme among exercises as fundamental as the pull up, rope climb, dips, push ups, and even the almighty bench press.

Today is a skill building/active rest day. No WOD, no met-con, no AMRAP….pick a skill that you have struggled with over the last couple of weeks and work on it and only it for 30 minutes. Or, pick something you’ve never done…and do it. Try bucket circles, presses to handstand, play with the paralletes, work on your kip or turkish get-up. Whatever it is give it 100%  attention today.
