  1. I finally got the rings up; hence, the obligatory muscle up wod. The purpose of the bbell was to upset the muscle ups. Besides a slight lack of rythm the muscle ups were fine. It was the bbell that felt herky jerky. Five reps wasn't enough to get into a smooth groove and changing exercises every set didn't help. We get so accustomed to doing close to max reps on everything that it was a little foreign to stop at five.
    Turbo, I'm going on the road tonight but I should be ready for Dungeon Master next week.

  2. Roger. I have the Iron Curtain Challenge in Orlando this weekend. If it works for you, let’s shoot for late next week. I might need a little recovery time before that jackassery. If you get a chance, checkout the programming for the competition, I’d like to hear your opinion. I’m dropping the link below.

  3. knocked this workout yesterday with a couple dudes overseas. still having a lot of trouble with the form on the snatch. (these jokes write themselves) It is a totally new exercise for myself and the guys out here. I had to lower the weight on the "snatch" to work on form once i was finished for some skills training.

    thanks for another good one mike

  4. This is probably the most challenging due its very specific requirements, i.e. speed, power, agility, hip and shoulder flexibility. The power snatch is a good stepping stone to the full sntach. Definitely work lighter weight. You have to work one thing at a time and form is first.
