    Have started Crossfit - so yesterday was 3 rounds of 800m run, 50 glut-ham raises, 50 sit ups for time. Subbed Xtrainer for run - 15.38 in total.

    Today is 10 X 3 minutes on the bag.

    Sigh

    Crossfit workout today - 30 muscle ups ( I can't do one yet, mainly because I haven't got any rings - oh, and the fact Im not strong enough) or - get this - 120 pull ups and 120 dips. Oh that is so NOT going to happen. My arms are still lying on the floor from the 96 pull ups (8 x 12) I did on Thursday.

    Yesterday was 400meter/50 squat intervals.

    Overtraining, here we come.

    How much cross over does this programme have? Someone please give me an excuse to stop it............










    Trouble is - I love the pain

    I would do Dips and Pullups GTG. Maybe False grip L pullups. And replace these Dip and Pull up heavy WODs with some olympic lifting.

    GTG 75% of you max morning evening night for the three WOD days. Increase a rep roughly every 2 weeks. Once you get to 20 of each the muscle up should come prety soon after.

    Read up on recovery and try to follow it as close as possible, but stick with it. Time yourself when doing the CFWU if you take alot longer than usual have a rest. Oh and measuring you heart rate in the morning is good too. 5-10 beats higher than normal means take it easy, i think.

    By neutral grip, do you mean semi-supinated? I.e. your palms are facing opposite direction?
