A – 165-205
B – 220# Not the prettiest. Jerked to 3/4 and locked out from there. Technically a 10# PR, but capable of more if I can clean up my form.
C – 160/175/190/200/210/225/245/256(pr)/260(pr)/265(pr)/275(pr)/280(pr). 25# PR from 8 months ago. Didn’t see that coming.
D – Nothing like 60 thrusters to bring you crashing back down to earth after a monster PR. Thrusters sucked. MUs were actually pretty strong. 8:14 Rx.

A) up to 115. That felt heavy and not very solid so I stopped.
Wod with class. Row2k, 50 alt pistols, 30 cleans. 15:00 cap. 15:35… First time I’ve done pistols at volume since injury. Slow! But I was happy with the row- under 9:00. (And I taught one of the girls the tips we learned at camp and she pr’d her row!)
B) 135. Got 145 but it was ugly. Not an all time pr, but getting closer
C) 75,80,85,95,100,105,110,115,120,120

Whoa it was hot in the gym today. A. 105, 115, 120, 120, 120,120,120, 120 I was unsure about this part of he workout.

Nicole here is wod I did with muscle ups, can u see where I kick at last minute. Need a fix because this stops rotation, but it’s a bad habit

Those look good Quinn! I would recommend that you do a bigger forward swing – open up your shoulders more, that will help with you kip and will get you to land higher up on the rings – helping combat that forward rotation of the shoulder!

Thanks Nicole are there any videos u guys have posted on u tube, for a demo. Also. Tracy asked if she can post some tips, is this allowed on here. Because as u see in video it’s that kick then I can’t get my swing right for next rep so I drop to a dip position to set and then go.
Thanks again

Ok hopefully you read my post on today’s board. I want you to watch this video to see what Nichole and I are talking about on the swing. Opening up your shoulders on the swing is key. Check these
out.
http://www.crossfitgymnastics.com/muscle-ups/

I think you may need to copy and paste the link. Watch the video that shows “swings on rings muscle up drills.” Notice how he opens his shoulders and on the swing hollows and then pops open his hips. He then just sails right to the top.

thanks Tracy, have checked out video and just for confirmation by opening up the shoulders you mean to pull the rings out to the sides a bit right?? sorry if its a dumb question
