Note: Weather is supposed to arrive early in the morning.  Check here to see if we are at code red before you head into the gym.

For those of you who have been missing muscle-ups, today is your lucky day.  For those of you are are scared of muscle-ups, it is time to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.  Get to the gym and work on your technique!

WOD Part 1:
15 Muscle-ups for time

Rest as necessary then

WOD Part 2:
50 Deadlift for time (225/155)

Post time for both parts to comments

Here is a good all-around video on the muscle-up


Here is a technique video to help with improving your transition


This video is on the "glide-kip" muscle-up

Did muscle up form practice with Tex to include a ton of ring dips and skin the cat shoulder mobility exercises.

4:57 on 225 DL X 50 reps.
That was a smoker, I broke it into sets of 10, tried not to "bounce the bar" on the bottom, and do more strict DL's.

1:50 on the MUs
3:23 on the DLs

Stroh's you were actually 3:57 for the dead lift because we started at 1 minute on the clock

Despite some great coaching from JWM, I am still a fat 0 on the muscle-ups. I did a lot of practice and pull-ups and then did the deadlift with 185 #: 7:13

Muscle-ups as rx'd: 2:24
Deadlift as rx'd: 3:12

The muscle-ups felt good and it was a good reminder of how much fatigue impacts you during the second 15 (my 30 muscle-ups for time is well over double my 15 rep time).

The deadlift felt pretty good but it was a challenge to keep a strong core for the last 15-20 reps.

Next time we play with MUs I want to work on a no false grip MU and see if I can swing it.
