30 Muscle-ups For Time!

30 muscle-ups for time
56:37

Today was an exciting day for me. Before today I had only done a total of 17 muscle-ups. So to be able to complete this workout was a great accomplishment. My muscle-ups are ugly, I let my arms get too wide as I'm pulling and I often get stuck with right arm out to the side. Its hard to complete the muscle-up when one or both hands get away from your body. Luckily I'm good at kipping so I can launch myself high enough to overcome my technical deficiencies. I was also able to get two muscle-ups in a row without letting go of the rings, the second one was the ugliest one I've done and the hardest to finish. In an earlier post I posted a video of my first muscle-up. I believe that that one was both the easiest and technically the best one I've done.

This is a shot of our garage gym. My wife Rosanna is practicing her muscle-up technique.
