On Progressions

The Fighter Pullup by Pavel.  This is an excellent progressive overload program to develop pullups.  But it doesn’t stop there; this can be used effectively for nearly any body weight movement.  Apply a similar program to dips, tadalafil push ups, ambulance GHD sit ups, even wall ball shots.
This progression is simple, and can worked into your warm up or post WOD work.  If you have a lot of kipping pullups, work this progression with dead hang pullups.  If you’re fighting for, or developing a Muscle Up (Christine, Emm, Jen!) working this progression with dips is probably needed.
Let’s do a Muscle Up clinic next week, Wednesday at 6:30pm.  We won’t have a CrossFit class at this time, so please adjust your schedule.  We’ll spend the hour working the standard MU progressions, and working on some new variations.
On Tuesday, April 17th, we’ll hold a Nutrition Clinic.  We’ll set up a Facebook events page in the next day or so.
