Monday, November 1 'MU/HSPU/Casey Fairbanks'

OK, who knew gymnastics could be so cool? These gymnasts are freeeking strong, and flexible. Just think about those attributes applied to the other facets of CrossFit... Should have been doing gymnastics more, huh?

5 rounds:
3 muscle-up handstand (ring) push-up
10 burpee-pull-ups

Eric- 1  13:56
Bart- 1  14:59
Matt- 1  18:47
Sharon- 1 (3)  13:29
Scott- 1  17:13
LaRunda- 1 (3)  14:24
Todd- 2  22:46
T- 1  16:03

We had options today. Considering that nobody at CFSF can perform a ring handstand push-up, we substituted the regular HSPU. The official scale from CFHQ was 7 muscle-ups, and 12 HSPU for every one muscle-up ring HSPU.

Option 1 was 3 regular muscle-ups, and 3 HSPU for every one MU/ring HSPU. Option 2 was to stay with the original scale. Only one person stuck to the original scale- Todd. Hooyah. Great job. A mutant in training.

Practice the muscle-ups every chance you get. IF the warm-up calls for pull-ups, perform them on the rings. Cash out with MU practice. It will not happen without concerted efforts. Get the false grip, or get the strong ass kip that gets you above the rings. Whichever works best for you.

We are playing with an old friend from the neighborhood Tuesday, and it is gonna be a blast. Don't miss it. Thanks for all the great efforts- more great fuel.
