How many muscle ups did you get?

[Fish]

Zero. I’m out. I ain’t doing those damn wall balls.

I want to watch the CF games when Froenning ID’s as a woman. Just for fun

[JimmyD714]

And were they kipping "muscle ups"? If so they don't count.

HA, some of those ladies would run circles around all of us. Froning is a freak of nature. When I was in college I got introduced to CF through meeting him and becoming friends. Guy is just a freak, no other way to put it. I can't tell you how many times I'd feel good about going head to head with him in some CF workout and finishing the first round of deadlifts or something at the same time thinking, "Ok I'm keeping up" then by the time I'm finished with the whole thing he's been resting for 5 minutes lol.

I remember a few times him calling me to see if I wanted to do a 3rd WOD after we'd already done 2 that day. Absolutely not. I've never met anyone who trains as hard as that guy does.

[Glenn]

Did you tell him his kipping didn't count?

[JimmyD714]

No because back then I did them that way too

[Glenn]

Zero. I’m out. I ain’t doing those damn wall balls.

I did a mess of those this morning. Not that work out, but the one I did had a lot in 'em.

[MolliesMaster]

I'll take the wall balls over the muscle-ups. Gravity ain't fair to us fat kids.

They're probably easy for you as tall as you are, no? If I remember you're an inch or 2 taller than me. The top part of wallballs were an easy chip shot for me, the squats got old after a lot of reps and my legs would give out long before my arms did on lots of wallballs. Long rang of motion for us lanky guys

And I'm just busting your balls about kipping. I don't do that anymore but doing CF for the 4-5 years I did it was one of the best decisions I made. My strength, fitness, and knowledge of how to lift properly went way up and I enjoyed it.

Except for "Fran" days... and I always did kipping pullups for that workout.

I do think kipping pullups and muscle ups are a bad idea for someone who doesn't have the strength to do it strict. And there is research to back up that belief. Haven't talked to Rich in years but if I ever do I'll tell him kipping doesn't count just to bust his balls a bit.

You're so full of shit. I bet you can't do one bar MU.

[JimmyD714]

This can easily be proven, sir. I'll video 5 strict on rings if you want proof.

Actually, no I won't because I really don't care if you believe me or not.

Wall ball shots for me are more about lungs than anything else. Always have been. Just fancy thrusters and thrusters can suckit for the same reason. Nowhere to breathe. After my knee surgery any form of squatting isn't fun but it gets done anyway. I can be weak and hurt or strong and hurt so I choose the latter.

Kipping has its place for sure. Depends on the workout goals. For metcons, I kip. For strength/skill work I do strict. Talking pull ups here. And I do palms in and out to mix it up on strength/skill work.

And I can't do muscle ups. Never have been able to. Just something about them I can't figure out even though the individual components of that movement are no problem. Stringing them together has always eluded me. But I survive without 'em.

[JimmyD714]

Gotcha. I don't do CF anymore as I've settled on just calisthenic workouts and really like it. I can do a good number of strict MUs and PUs as well as other variants of gymnastic and bodyweight stuff but that's just because I train that way so often. I was dang close to holding a front lever but an elbow injury set me back. Physical therapy is helping it a lot and I'm about to go full steam ahead on that goal. Getting old sucks but you said it - better to be strong and hurt than weak and hurt.

I can't deadlift or squat as heavy as I used to back in the CF days. Probably most of the guys here who lift can out bench and out squat me. But my pistol squat game is strong!

Crossfit is the best all around fitness program to introduce people to everything you can pursue as part of your fitness goals. I really like that about it. Endurance, power lifts, functional lifts, oly lifts, bodyweight stuff, calisthenics, gymnastic, all of it.

I started in my late 20's and never even knew what a power clean was prior to that. After several years of it I just decided to settle on calisthenics.

If I ever find myself having to do one legged squats in any sort of functional capacity you can rest assured I've ran my carbine and pistol both to slide lock, am in a pile of empty mags and we're in the hand to hand part of my day. Same goes for walking on my hands.

You’re the one who opened the door on this, you stupid cunt.

[JimmyD714]

Men don't call men cunts. Unless they're weak and feminized.

You're a weak man for editing my post. Can't handle what I said in response? Then don't bother me.

Made it to the RMU's at 10:20 but only got three RMU's .
