If you are "close" to getting muscle-ups, our coach lets you try until you have two misses during a WOD, and then you move to a substitution, both to eliminate total frustration and to make constructive use of the time allotted for the class. <br /><br />We frequently work muscle-up progressions in warm-up/skill time, so I do get some exposure to the technique. I just don't have the upper body strength (yet). But I will!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15586773793761117964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320987283711723660.post-91528181126234298292010-05-12T13:12:44.092-05:002010-05-12T13:12:44.092-05:00I always thought that the HQ sub for muscle-ups wa...I always thought that the HQ sub for muscle-ups was wrong-headed, but honestly I don't know what a good sub would be. The thing with getting the muscle-up is that it's a combination of technique and strength, and doing lots and lots of pull-ups and dips is not going to help you get a muscle-up necessarily. At least not nearly as much as doing a set of heavily weighted pull-ups and dips with the fullest possible ROM. For WODs that have muscle-ups, I do the muscle-ups until I can't do them at a reasonable interval, and then I switch to the 3:1 ratio for the remainder of the WOD. I think your approach is a good one - treat them as an opportunity to get better at pull-ups.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
