Fitness-3/16/10-"Elizabeth...kind of", L-hang work

Tuesday

"Elizabeth" was on the board today and decided to go after it with a twist. I set the rings high and decided I'd do a muscle-up before commencing any of the dips. That meant if I came off the rings before I'd gotten my reps for the round, I'd have to hit a muscle-up to get back on and finish my reps. It was a poor choice. "Elizabeth" is 3 rounds, 21-15-9 of:

squat clean, 135#
ring-dips

time=19:45ish

This one was a disaster, the whole muscle-up idea killed me. I got the set of 21 dips done with only 4 muscle-ups. The set of 15, I hit my first muscle-up and knocked out 7 dips. Then I started failing muscle-ups. Then the rings about came loose and I had to grab a box and fix them. Then I kept failing muscle-ups. I ended up finishing the workout without muscle-ups, just performing straight dips. I took this one slow from the start and it still kicked my butt. I should note my body weight is up 10-12 pounds from the Sectional competition. And I can feel it big time doing the BW work. After the wod, I attempted more muscle-ups and couldn't get one, took my oly shoes off, and nailed one easily. It seems every pound counts. Maybe it's just my imagination.

Finished with some false-grip/l-hang work. Was a good day.
