Week 3 in the crossfit games and they unveiled a workout from last year that I was real excited about.
12 min AMRAP: 150 20lb wall balls, 90 double unders, 30 muscle ups, repeat
I crushed the wall balls. 20 at a time with a 10 second rest between. Took me 6 minutes. I slopped my way through the double unders. 30, 20, 15, 15... Then the muscle ups. I went to the crossfit gym the day before to try to perfect my muscle up technique. Not only did I fail to perfect it, I only got one. 30 minutes, 15-20 attempts, completely fresh, not a one. So what the F am I looking at after 150 wall balls and 90 double unders? I had plenty of time when I finished the double unders. Nearly 4 minutes to do muscle ups. A couple times when I've tried to do muscle ups, my elbow has gotten loose and darted out in a crazy angle leading me to think it was dislocated. Now I am attempting them after a pretty brutal workout. But, whatever, crossfit power! I grapped those stupid rings and pulled myself upward and, voilah, a muscle up. I got 4 more before I started failing. If only my form was better. I could have been something. I thought it was a pretty easy workout till my quads started seizing from all the wall balls a couple of hours later.
