I am on Day 3 of the CFSB and am supposed to have a rest day today, but due to scheduling, I have to miss it this week...boy could my body use it though. I decided to do the following for my 20min Metcon in an attempt to save my legs for Front Squats tomorrow.

Nate
AMRAP in 20min of
2 Muscle-ups
4 Handstand Push-ups
8 2pd Kettlebell Swings

as Rx'd: 12 rounds + 1 MU

This one was a botched WOD. I had quite the ordeal during the WOD. I had the idea to just do this barefoot after I had set my rings at the height for doing MUs...but I set them with my shoes on...now you wouldn't think the extra 1" lift provided by the shoes would be that big of a deal, but around round 4 I could tell my grip was starting to wane some and I was having a hard time getting a good, tight, false grip. I missed a MU, grabbed a 24" box and climbed up to tried and lower the rings, but I had them so secured that I couldn't do it without wasting 5min or more. So...I tried stepping off the box for a couple of rounds, but then I was doing almost a swinging MU which wasn't very efficient...and I am no gymnast. I scrapped that plan, ran across the weight room and grabbed a 45# bumper and used that to give me the lift I needed to set my grip. I stayed with the bumper for the rest of the time remaining.

So...by the end I wasn't even winded due to all the running around and adjusting during the WOD along with the pace I had to slow to in order to ensure I got the MU rep and did not miss. Grip was a major issue for me today.

I'm gonna hit today's MP WOD tomorrow and see how that goes.
