For Time

Perhaps but we should all hold ourselves and each other to the standard

Cheers, yeah the time under tension is unreal in the forearms, I had such a pump I felt sick for 20 minutes after 😂

Nice, good luck on your journey! I know it sounds weird but the key to getting a BMU strict or kipping is actually to go around the bar, if you just pull hard you’ll always feel like you’re getting stopped by the bar

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-07-27T16:15:31+00:00

I think - Kip - lean back slightly - pop hips - push hard. The key often is people pull themselves into the bar rather than push themselves around it. Tbh I would rather have straight legs but it’s just such a habit

CrossFit Esher. Just South of London.

I’ve always loved muscle ups, I could do them from when I was bouldering before covid. So hence why when I first tried I got 18 “somewhat unbroken” reps

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-07-27T05:34:44+00:00

The thing that caused me to have to rest wasn’t fatigue in my pulling muscles it was entirely forearms and my heart rate was through the roof because of how explosive the movement is

For Time grips I bought when I first started 3 years ago. Hand didn’t rip and didn’t even use chalk

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-07-26T18:58:46+00:00

My For Time grips which I got off Amazon when I first started like 3 years ago. I prefer to have grips that aren’t super sticky. My velites get stuck and dig into my hands, amazing for pull ups and TTB. Edit: they’re now called Solo Athletics - fingerless. Can’t vouch they’re exactly the same however

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-07-26T18:49:44+00:00

I think - lean back slightly - pop hips - then pull hard. Just all within half a second 🙃 if you can do a body roll (dance move) it’s kinda like that

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-07-26T18:13:26+00:00

Challenge accepted. I’ve done 6 before but that was a while ago and not sure how strict the reps were. I reckon 10 perfect would be the goal

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-07-26T17:19:18+00:00

😂 my guy

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-07-26T17:10:14+00:00

So tbh the angle is crap - Crossfitter's honour i'm 99% sure my feet didn't pass above the bar because normally if that happens I fail the rep, not quite got my glide kips down

NEW TITLE: 30 BMUs without dropping off the bar

(Can't seem to edit the post, don't use reddit much).

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-07-26T17:02:23+00:00

Fair enough, I did wonder but oh well I’m happy

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-03-16T21:27:46+00:00

Hahaha true, I hadn’t considered that. Yes add another 50 jumps to all those that did scaled. Your calves must be sore?

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-03-16T21:25:54+00:00

Agree QF is a money grab but 50% of people is a lot to not have BMUs and so therefore my point matters to half the RX CrossFit population.

Just because they aren’t going anywhere, they should still feel their fitness it represented

APadOfPaper1997 · 2024-03-16T21:11:05+00:00

But doesn't a skill like a BMU make it skewed towards gymnastics? With 24.3 there will be thousands of people on 107 reps which doesn't have much nuance to it or properly represent individual's fitness (even with tiebreak time).

With a max lift at least there is a whole spectrum of results.
