Warm Up
5 min Skipping
5 min Mobility movements
CFWU x 3 (-Pull Ups & Ring Pushups subbed for Dips)

Skills
L-Sit - worked up to 1 minute

WOD
50 Muscle Ups for time
Used a progression that had my feet on a bench in front so that I was in a semi-pike position at the bottom (full hang) position of the M/Up.

Time: 10.33mins

Not a bad workout. Time included stopping at 35 reps to tape a massive blister at the heel of my palm. Gotta love the false grip! I'd like to get through this one without the subbed assistance, but I'm not at that level in my muscle up ability just yet. I was still pretty happy though considering I've never bothered training the muscle up much.

I'm just starting to get on the rings and do a bit more body weight stuff. It's an area I've avoided a bit, essentially because it's bloody hard! But because I've avoided it, it's a facet of my fitness that isn't as developed as some of the other areas. Time to stop avoiding it and get stuck into some gymnastics progressions and a bit more skill work.

If your keen on that sort of thing, a must read is Jim Bathurst's website http://www.beastskills.com/. Excellent tutorials and just an all-round good resource. I recommend it.
