I apologize for the late post. Tuesday’s are a busy day for me and I coach late, so I try to get the posts out earlier. Obviously, I didn’t have a chance today until now. And I’m going to make it quick since my alarm is set for 4am to coach the early classes tomorrow. Anyhow, I have been wanting to do this contest for awhile now. We have A LOT of women who meet the requirements to enter the contest.

Contest is to see who the next woman at CrossFit CrownTown will be that performs a ring muscle-up for their first time. Winner will get a pair of custom Reebok CrossFit Nanos, or, custom Reebok CrossFit Olympic Weightlifting shoes. It starts now. It ends when the first woman wins. 3-2-1-GO!

My two cents when practicing this movement is to not over think it. Realistically, a muscle-up is not an advanced gymnastics movement. For CrossFit it may seem that way, but like I mention in the video it’s a kipping pull-up, and an unassisted ring dip with a little bit of technique in between. Perfect practice makes perfect, not just practice. Watch this video, watch it again, replay the slow motion parts, and perfect practice every chance you get. It will happen. I’m looking forward to watching all of our strong beautiful women work towards their first muscle-up.
