The muscle-ups in question were ugly as hell. I'm barely getting the bottom of the ring armpit height, so there's always a brief, mini-struggle to bring my right elbow closer to my body so I can lock it out. Shae gave me some advice on gripping the ring that I'm going to try out.
Still, I think I've almost reached the point where I can go up to a set of rings and be totally confident that I could do a muscle-up. Almost.
WOD of the day
"T2B Cindy":
-5 toes-to-bar
-10 push-ups
-15 squats
I did 16 rounds plus 5 T2B.
Beforehand, I was a little unsure about this because the last time I did Cindy, I developed that hamstring injury that still lingers to this day. I'm not sure if the injury was a result of Cindy or the sprints I had done two days earlier in Edmonton, but I sure as hell didn't want it to flare up again. I was also unsure how good the T2B would be for my shoulder.
14.4 was announced yesterday right before I got to the gym. I thought maybe I'd to that instead. Then I found out it was a chipper with 50 consecutive T2B, which sounded like a recipe for hand tearing or shoulder fuckage. Screw that, I thought. T2B Cindy it is.
Sure I ended up doing more T2B with the Cindy WOD, but they're done in smaller sets, and separated by however long it takes to do the push-ups and squats.
Now that I've had some time to think about it, I may end up doing 14.4 at some point. There's a fine line between injury avoidance and just being a pussy.
