Nice job on those strict Muscleups. “Murph” looked like it caught up to you on those bike and Power cleans!

Trust yourself and put your hands in that barbell!! Pushups from “Murph” mess up your shoulder?

Uhm I didn’t do Murph lol so no. It was bothering me a little after Saturday. It’s mostly when I’m in a deep dip so I figured an extra day off muscle ups would be a good idea.

I am. I leave on Thursday for granite games anyway. (I’m not competing, just going as a coach). I’ve already gotten it checked out. It’s a problem with my collar bone and shoulder bone. Kinda long to explain but I see a PT once a week for it. It’s slowly coming along. Just the muscle up volume sometimes gets me.
