Used 20 min to practice the BMU, movement I haven't done any since the pandemic begun. The bar was too low, but I could handle this properly.


Then subbed to the intermediate option as:

30 C2B + 30 parallel bar dips

9:27 as rx’d: 5-5-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-1-1 reps. PR (last time 10:57) Used leather palm guards. Last rep was VERY hard fought, I couldn’t kip as much by the end due to grip stamina.

It was smooth sailing through 48 reps at the 10:30 mark, and then something just broke down - 5-6 fails (and 3 minutes) getting those last 2 reps.

At the local park - garage set-up not good for bar MU.

Wanted to give a quick shoutout to Maggie, Andy, Spencer, and Alex for the seminar at Crossfit Charlotte. Learned a lot from them and loved the environment, made the drive worth it.


Might stay away from kettlebells for a few days though, Andy knows what I mean.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

Bar muscle-up themes - pulling, pushing, clearing an obstacle, skill (global extension/flexion), connection (bar instead of rings)


MAIN DECISION

Single modality or practice more stuff?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

As is, lose the timer.


CONSISTENCY SCALE

25-20-15-10-5 reps of:

strict pull-up

strict dip


INTENSITY SCALE

10 rounds of:

Something short to get your breathing heavy

5 bar muscle-ups

Rest as needed between rounds


INJURY SCALE

Upper-body - look for two movements involving as much body as possible and allow for stamina to play a factor. Run 400m, 30 dumbbell thrusters, 4 rounds. Something like that.

Lower-body - consistency scale


MY STUFF

Consistency scale in 14:44


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: ? No idea. But I'd probably guess a 5.
