Muscle-up Progressions

There are several progressions that we use (did you see yesterday’s post?). Today the coach will review several progressions. Each one has pros and cons. Choose one and get some practice with it because tomorrows WOD has muscle-ups. If you don’t have muscle-ups, you’ll use on of the progressions you work on today.

 If you do have muscle-ups, complete 3 unbroken sets with :90 rest between attempts.

Need some extra midline work? Try some GHD sit-ups!

You guys might remember that we did a post about Outside Magazine’s article Is CrossFit Killing Us. The title is pretty sensational, just like More Read Meat, More Mortality (Here was the write-up we did when that one hit the news outlets). The titles of these articles sound exciting and surely will cause a rise in those who CrossFit. Or eat meat. You might be thinking that since you CrossFit AND you eat meat, that you’ve shaved decades off your life. Don’t worry, you’re probably OK.

A few weeks ago Steven Ross Pomeroy, a contributor at Forbes, penned CrossFit Isn’t Killing Us as a direct response to Outside’s piece. Give it a look. There isn’t anything in there you don’t know, but it might make you feel better about things. Now who wants to hit a WOD then go grab a steak?!?!
