Throwback to the 2018 CrossFit Open and Coach JB knocking out some Muscle-Ups. At least until… (she was fine)
The Strict Ring Muscle-Up
We can think about the ring muscle-up in three segments, the pull, the transition and the dip. The 3:00 video below does an excellent job breaking down each segment and talking about things to consider and limiting factors around each segment.
I like how DO does not flinch in the Flickr photo.
“if she dies, she dies.”
Well she did yell just moments before this “DONT CHEER FOR ME” so we took the job very seriously 😂
This is a core memory.
