The Muscle-up is one of the most difficult movements in crossfit, along with the handstand pushup (for me). After Friday's workout I stayed at the gym for an extra 30-45 minutes to work on muscle-up progressions. (Thank you Jarrod for all your help and advice and Jeff for the support)! It made me realize how much work I need to do in order to actually acheive this muscle-up ive been talking about. It's not at all discouraging knowing I have a long way to go, but just more motivation to get my butt in the gym to keep practicing!
My goal, is to have 1 muscle up by the time I graduate in May! Thats exactly 3 months away. I have never set a time limit before on attaining the muscle-up, which has probably been the reason i have not been pushing myself. Hopefully I can keep it up- Jevon, Jarrod, Jesse: keep me accountable!!! And be prepared for a lot of muscle-up progression advice and questions :)
In order to achieve this goal I MUST work on ring-dips religiously as well as different progression techniques!
Do you have a goal? Set a time limit that you want to achieve this goal by, and get in the gym early to practice (or stay late)! The coaches love to help and watch people improve, so dont be afraid to bombard them with questions on progression techniques that you can practice to help you attain your goal! Every movement has a progression that you can start working on.
muscle-up ... here I come :)
Good luck girl! I bet you get one in under two months! You're a very determined girl! "Keep your eyes on the prize!"
