Ugh! Muscle Ups are something I have not yet perfected or
performed. I know that I am certainly strong enough to do them, and if I worked
on them more often I know I can get them. I was conflicted going into this
workout on Friday morning wondering if I should spend my 14 minutes trying to
get a muscle up (or two), or doing it scaled and skipping the muscle ups and
just do the Wallballs and Jump Ropes. The scaled version was 50 wallballs at
10# (instead of 14#) and 200 single jumpropes (instead of 100 Double Unders,
which I can do).
Well, I chose to do 15.3 scaled on Friday and ended up with
1,007 reps. I was honestly surprised. One of the trainers said to the group as
we were warming up to shoot for 700 reps. The timer was counting down, 3…2…1
GO! I started right in with the first round of 50 wallballs and 200 single
jumpropes. I never once looked at the clock. I took only a few short breaks
during the wallballs to shake out my arms. I did the jumpropes unbroken. There
was about 20 seconds left when I finished my last round of jumpropes and I
picked up the wallball and was able to complete 7 of the 50 before time was
called. I had no idea how many rounds I did. I just tried to stay moving the
entire time. I was pleasantly surprised when Meggan told me how many reps I had
completed.
Now, do I give it another go on Monday and try and get a
muscle up or two during the 14 minutes? Even though I had some pretty decent
reps with the scaled version, I am told that even 1 muscle up will earn me more
points on the leader board than my scaled score. If I am able to catch up with
the other coaches on the box, I think I may attempt to do it. After all, I have
nothing to lose by trying and I may even surprise myself.
In Health & Fitness,
