We often see accessory work programmed consisting of trunk work, mobility, prehab/rehab, and even bodybuilding. Is this just to fill the hour, or is it important? Of course it is, and let me explain why! The fact that it happens to be at the end of the workout does not mean it is less important. […]

The law of individuality tells us we are all the same, but we are all different. We are all made of blood and tissue but how we approach things or respond is individual. Everyone will respond differently based on genetics, stress load, nutrition, and recovery. However, there are some general things that you can focus […]

Certainly, there has been all those things in the last decade, but from all of that there were lessons. The last […]

So I had a busy Workout day. Worked on Snatches 5×3. Then I continued with my 30 day personal Muscle up Challenge. Add one Muscle Up a day for the next 27 days (since I am on day 3). For that I did 3 Muscle Ups! If anybody wants to buy in they have to do 6 today to catch up:)
Then I did the Death by Pull Ups
9 complete rounds.
Met Con 7:21

Rob, I’m always up for a challenge!! I just did my 6 muscle-ups to catch up (3 strung together and then 1 at a time). This challenge might get a little dicey soon. Those 6 were plenty tough enough, I can’t imagine doing 20-30 ! I have a hard time keeping my false grip when I try to turn out on the bottom.

@ Brian. On the muscle ups, no need to do them all at once. You can spread them out throughout the day. Just wanting to get better at them. Thanks for joining me!

Yeah, I know, but when I only get into the gym once a day typically, it will usually have to be in that one session that I do the majority of them.
FYI, I setup a post on my blog for this challenge, if you want a place to keep track of your days and make any comments directly related to how things are going: https://crossfitbty.blogspot.com/2010/08/august-bty-fitness-challenge-muscle-ups.html
Anyone else joining in on the fun, feel free to chime in and contribute there, too….

Man- if only I wasn’t missing so many days in August! Maybe I’ll do the muscle up challenge in September…
Decided to leave my workout to chance today. I asked people for random numbers and ended up doing;
14 rounds of– 8 push ups + 13 sit ups
Wanted to stay off my feet still because of the knee. I was happy
because push ups were all unbroken!
