Time not a factor, progress is!!

TUESDAY 120131

Five rounds for time of:
7 Muscle-ups
95 pound Sumo-deadlift high-pull, 21 reps

Time: 32:44

Before today, I have only been able to perform two muscle-ups.  I knew today's WOD was challenging and typically I would modify the muscle-ups with 3 pull-ups and 3 dips.  I was curious to see were I stood regarding my performance of the move.  After a couple of trials something clicked.  I managed to go from only 2 MU performed in my entire life to completing all 35 for the WOD!  I concentrated on form and completing every last rep rather than racing for a better time.  I had many failures during the last three rounds but I managed to rest enough between reps to get them all.  This has been a great week.  First I learned how to kip with my K2E and now I can do MU.  It's all in the the kip!
