only managed 215# on the overhead push-press yesterday. got beat by a girl
GOOD
I'm fine with it. As long as it's not YOU :P
Ha! I haven't picked up a barbell since October. I'm letting my body restart so I can challenge myself more when I jump back into the box.
I ripped on muscle ups tonight. Crawfish will be fun tomorrow :/
I saw a friend that does Crossfit lift a huge ball that looked quite heavy. What is that all about and what do they weight?

Was it a wallball or an atlas stone?
Looked huge compared to a basketball, it may have been a grey stone. Knowing him it was quite heavy and they said only 3 people had ever lifted it.

Yeah, we don't do that at my gym haha.
I just wish I could do a muscle-up. It's a skill I just don't have. My lifts are decent, I can bang out 15 strict dead-hang pull ups over or under-hand, whichever, blah blah blah, but nowhere close to a MU on rings or bar.
It's ALL form. Once you get the form, it's actually EASIER than a chest to bar pullup. No joke.
Really? Those are cake. Meh. I'm just doing it wrong I guess.
Just gotta kip correctly. Look at how little bitty gymnast girls do it. You don't want to do it like them because you won't have the range of motion of them, but you can try to slightly mimic their form. Get with your coach and work on hanging from the bar and use your core to do in and outs (or whatever you call them). Basically the front of a kip and the back. Once you get good at that, the kip with a big explosion will shoot you up to the bar. Rings are a bit different because you have to keep them in. I find bar muscle ups much easier.
Wider than shoulder grip, feet forward, then core forward, then explode your feet back and your chest up and OVER the bar. You should end up catching yourself with your hip bone touching the bar. Then either keep the momentum throwing you all the way up to a lockout, or press up.
I'll give it a go. Stuff like that takes me forever to learn.
