Alright Carporters - I stepped it up: 4 MU, 20 front squats w/89 lbs (we have kilos), run 1/3 a mile (weird indoor track) 3 rounds for time AND I did 4 muscle ups in the second round (cute girl walks by... wish I was joking) Time: 14:15 RX... I raised the rings I bought so I really had to reach to grab them and kipping felt a TON easier. But yes, I need to work on handstands

Ronnie Coleman said...

So it was 3,4,3 MU in the WOD to clarify... I was so excited

Today we will walk our feet up the wall into our handstands so that we can maintain that hollow position in the HS.
Here are some videos to help with handstands. They explain why/how to do HS with chests against the wall instead of back against the wall like we normally do at the Carport.

@Cori-If you know who anonymous is...then thry are no longer anonymous...correct?

Cori said...

so ronnie, you did 4 mu's in the second round to show off for the girl, or you did 4 because you lost count?! she must've been awfully cute!

and anonymous is still anonymous except to me in which anonymous is not anonymous anymore.

thanks for the videos amber! this wod will be interesting!

That was AWSEOME!
Hollow rocks are definitly on my list of things to practice. I was able to handstand the whole minute all 6 rounds AND I learned how to roll out the HS! Yay! It was really hard to stay hollow for a minute. I took several breaks each round. During the last part of rounds 4, 5, and 6, I stopped rocking and just held the hollow position.

The whole a.m. crew rocked this!

that was so hard! my hollow rock became a hollow position for about 3 secs on 5-10 secs off. lol! yikes!

the handstands did something weird to my left hand. i lost feeling from my elbow down. the feeling is just starting to come back. what's up with that!?
