Rx 455 with 13:20 tiebreaker.
DU – UB, 40/30/30, 50/50, 40/30/30
OHS – 10/10
Rings – singles
Snatch – UB
BMU – singles

This is a redo after Friday where I got 351 (19 snatch). I had mental block on the rings and failed just as many as I got! Today I didn’t miss any.

334. I don’t have a ring setup in my garage so I subbed bar muscle-ups. Incidentally, I haven’t done a muscleup in probably 18 months. Pleased with how this went, actually,

18.3 RX – 357 reps (5 DB snatches). Really slow singles on the ring MU, but I was able to perform them with ZERO shoulder pain. I consider that a huge win despite not scoring as well as I would have liked. One and done for me. Good luck to all!

A. 382 bar muscle ups for rings didn’t make it to second set muscle ups I made a big mistake on overhead squat failed rep 20 than dropped the bar picked it right back up failed another rep before taking a second to regroup also missed a bunch of dubs the clock moves fast

Mission for this year get a muscle up setup at the house….only practice is when I go to globo which is hardly ever

Seriously wanted this to be the day of the ring muscle up. Nope. I will try again on Sunday, as the DU and OVHS are not that much of a work out.
220 reps 4:23 tie break.
Trying not to be demoralized because I want to be so much further along. ?‍♀️
You can all coach me and make me be able to flip the switch in my head. ?.

I’m trying to look at 18.3 as Glass half full because Castro put my two worst enemies double unders and overhead squats in one work out. Last year I would’ve done the scaled version if this were in the open, however, I got through it today.
146. Good luck everyone

Catching up a bit. Did 18.2 today. I couldn’t even see my wheelhouse from there ha ha!

10:28
175

I actually think I could have done more but simply didn’t have the time. My 1RM is 185 but my limitation has mostly been caution since the back issue.

I just ordered some creatine and it showed up today. I went in with my nephew so it came to his house and he brought it to me. Looks like all my problems are solved.comment imagecomment image

Airdyne cardio. Feel seriously beat up.

2min rest every 5 rounds.

Scaled most:
100 single, 20 OHS @ 115#
100 single, 12 Pull ups
100 single, 20 snatches @ 50#
100 single, 12 Pull ups ===> post workout brain during the workout and forgot to do that couplet
With the parts done, got to 17 snatches of the 2nd round… even scaled that’s a heavy itinerary for 14 min for me. The rope got real… really fast

Active recovery today, light cardio and mobility work.

A little nervous about 18.3, I haven’t even attempted a ring muscle up since doing shoulder rehab. Prior to the shoulder injury I was comfortable with them but I plan on being very conservative with that movement and may possibly shut it down if pain arises. 1st and foremost I need to hang my rings in the garage ?.

My ceiling is 10.5 ft. I’m going to hang them at the same height as my ceiling pullup bar since I already know I can do bar MUs on it. 9’ might require a little head dip at the top ?

Same problem here, makes it harder being over 6 feet tall. Only solution I’ve seen is cutting a space in the ceiling and mounting in the attic.

I bought rings from Black mountain fitness. I used a 3 foot 2×8 as a stringer with 7 5″ lag screws (don’t remember the size). Then I used some commercial swing hangers (rated to 300# each) to mount each ring.i used 3″ lag screws to mount those. Because you are overhead, it takes a toll on your shoulders.

Did it scaled.
864 reps. I decided to break the pull ups into 6/6 but that was a bad idea, I should just go unbroken.
I cannot imagine doing DU (if I could) on this one as even single unders started to become slow midway through the second round.
Will retry tomorrow and try to speed things up.
