2/28/12 Muscle Up & SDLHP
-Written by KC
Progression
I love this notion in CrossFit. Just because the final form of an element or movement is not available to you, there are still modifications that can allow everyone to work at their own level, and at their own pace. Here you see some drills that help us understand more about the first pull of the Muscle Up. The idea here is to pull the rings as far down on the chest as possible, keeping the false grip and arms tucked in tight, gaze is at the horizon. These drills are good work in and of themselves.
