With the new setup of the rings (long straps), those that were able to do muscle-ups may find them more challenging. It will take time to get accustomed to them, so don’t freak out. They just need to be practiced.

I find it harder on the new rings but I’ll get used to it.
Nice work Pat!
Nice PR Pat. Let us know how the new press training works out.
Way to go on the WOD Pat! Once I got going I had your time in mind. Tough to beat!
WUx2 (pullups: one round rings, one round strict with band)
DL x5: 65-95-115-135-145 (felt good but heavy, been a while so wanted to concentrate on form)
WOD: AMRAP 7 min
4 pull ups
4 dips (yellow band)
9 rnds + 4 pull ups + 1 dip
cash out: trap stretch
i like working on dips, i fatigue quickly on them – maybe it’s all the struggling to get into the band 🙂
PM workout: 15km time trial
i don’t have my official time yet (will find out when they post the results tomorrow) but my garmin told me i was 20 seconds faster than last week – so 15km in roughly 26:40, about 33.7k/h average!
the way a time trial works is one person starts every 60 seconds and the goal is to catch and pass your ‘minute man’ and anyone else in front of them. i was the 3rd person to start tonight and i caught both people that started ahead of me. very happy!
great job everyone on ALL the PRs today! wow! i’d post for each person but that might take too many posts – way to kick butt CF Monctoners!

Matched my PR of 4 consecutive MUs. I don’t find the new rings that bad. Once you get used to them they work great! This was my first time doing this WOD and I’m looking forward to trying it again cause I know I could do better. Nice work 4:15 crew!
Good job Jeff!
Do you mean, you don’t find the new rings that bad… ‘except when they hit you in the face’?? How’s the bruise?
Nice work Jeff!! 🙂

Good job 4:15 p.m. crew!
Well done Corinna!!

Good work Corinna, always getting better. 🙂
Great improvement Corinna.
Nice PR!!! I know you can TOTALLY get that 140 soon
WU X2
No strength today.
~ Opted to try ring dips since I had never done them before. They are tough. Tried a few with the green band. Then just worked on holding the rings to my sides with feet off the floor… even that was tough. Did that multiple times for a 10-count. Mostly used the rings in the warm-up room, as I found the long strap ones REALLY hard to stabilize.
~ Will try to keep progressing on this during warm-ups.
WOD: AMRAP in 7 mins.
4 Pullups (green band)
4 Parallette Dips
TOTAL: 10 Rounds + 2 Pullups.
Keep working on the dips in the warmup.

I was worried that the new ring setup would be an issue but they’re ok. So I’ll be doing games standards next time this WOD or another MU one comes up. The new ring setup is pretty springy, and it can be a detriment or an aid. If you give a good tug before you pull and time it well you’ll be good to go.
“If you give a good tug before you pull and time it well you’ll be good to go.” – That’s what she said!
Nice one…
Nice Dan! Didn’t I say 6 minutes? haha! Awesome.
Awesome! Awesome! You’re the man Dan!

Strength – front squat 5×3 at 110lb with only 1 min rest between sets
Well, just had to try some muscle ups… struggling, not cause of the rings (I had done them at the Games in Fredericton last year so I know I can do them even if the rings are springy)… Ended up doing an amrap 10 min and only got 5. I’ll be honest, I was disappointed at first to only get 5, and as soon as I got home had to go through my journal to reassure myself that on a regular non-pregnant day I could’ve done this workout (haven’t had the chance to try this one yet)…. Now, I’m really happy with my result and happy that I can say I did 5 muscle ups while 23 weeks pregnant 🙂
You did AWESOME Sonia!!! Extraordinary. Really. 5 MU at 23 weeks is something to be very proud of. 🙂
I tested it with a 12# weight vest around my belly. Weighted muscle-ups are no joke, so 5 in 10min is awesome!
I can smell the wave of inspiration all the way from Dieppe. New WODs forming in Kevin’s head, filled with weighted push-ups, burpees, front squats, box jumps, DUs, etc…. 😉
Maybe I should shut up…
I tried with the vest before, it is definitely serious business. You did fantastic Sonia!
Way to go mama bear!
