Last time I did this in 31:47 but the box jumps were only 18 in and the wall ball was only 15#. Not to mention that last time my k2e were about 1/2 ROM. Today everything was pretty much dead on as RX'd. My time...

Also of note...I got my first muscle up today.:) I'll be posting a video of it in the testimonials sections within the next few days.

Here's my MU vid...Sorry about the scream but...it's been a long time coming! I think I stayed up there for a bit waiting for applause or something but...owell.

I know the form wasn't perfect but it was my first one.

Awesome, JD!

It is so cool - but watch it again and look at your expression when you kipped into the transition, the expression on your face changed when your head was through and your chest was over your hands because you knew you had it!

great work!

Negative, Ghostrider, the pattern is full.
I'm getting the MRI tomorrow. I don't have my follow-up appt with the Orthopedic surgeon until early January, but I am guessing that surgery is imminent. I will, of course, get a second opinion, but there is no way this thing is "normal."

Even with an active recovery and rehab, there is now way I'd be ready for qualifiers, let alone the Games when the time comes. I do plan to try to make it out there as a spectator or volunteer.

I've had a pretty good week...PR on the squat, muscle up and also doing a lot more main page WOD's.

135 lb Squat clean, 10 reps
50 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 8 reps
40 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 6 reps
30 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 4 reps
20 GHD Sit-ups
135 lb Squat clean, 2 reps
10 GHD Sit-ups

19:55.

Felt good, other than bashing my collar bone on some of the squat cleans. I think this stems from slow elbows...going to do some research on that momentarily,.
