Wow. I can’t dead lift 185.
This. I have zero use for the majority of the gymnastics movements in Crossfit. Handstands, handstand walks, muscle ups, kipping anything can all suck it. No one will ever convince me kipping pullups are good for your shoulders...??
I've had one shoulder surgery and don't want another. That's the main reason I don't do snatches anymore. I will still kip a pull up but it's a slow and controlled movement. I don't let gravity slam me down to full extension with a hard stop. But I will NEVER do another butterfly pull up. I worked hard to learn that skill and it about led to my second shoulder surgery. Dumb ego trip almost cost me there. Same reason I don't worry about muscle ups. I'm functionally sound and strong through all components of that movement and don't need that skill for any reason.
I've seen torn meniscus from pistols, wrecked necks/disc from HSPU and jacked up wrist from hand stand walks. I'm good.

Five muscle up buy in, Jimmy.
I just like talking fitness stuff.
Didn't know it would turn into a profanity lesson.
Haven't been doing them for a while as I've been rehabbing an elbow injury. Just got cleared from PT today, did 4x3 last week, strict and on the rings. Felt good.
Working my way back up to sets of 5, I've done quite a few times. I've got no reason to lie about what I can and can't do. If I feel like it, I'll put a video up in a few weeks so I can show yall what strong looks like.
23.2 is a two part wod.
23.2A - 15 minute AMRAP starts with 5 burpee pull-ups and 10 shuttle runs. The burpee pull-ups increase by 5 reps each round.
23.2B - in 5:00 minutes, establish a one rep max thruster.
I’m not signed up for the open. But this is all they wrote on the wall today.

“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
