Hey Chuck!

Log them here as I go through and read every entry and make note of times! But for your personal logging then you may want to have a journal to record it in for easy access!

Welcome! Can you film your muscle-ups and post them either here or to our Masters Facebook group? I would like to take a look at them and provide feedback, along with our gymnastics coach.

Still away on holidays, so modifying depending on equipment.

Push Press–125#, equaled my best from a long time ago.
Then partner workout: 100S to O, 65#, 100 pull ups, 100 ring dips, 200 cals on bike. All shared, took longer than I expected, but that was mostly the bike.

I did it this way:
20 cal + 12 c2b/1 min rest
20 cal + 12 pull ups/1 min rest
20 cal + 10 ring dips/1 min rest
20 cal + 8 bar mu/1 min rest
20 cal + 6 ring mu

Don’t know if this was the right way, but good workout!:-)
