Muscle Up Progressions without Muscle Up Progressions

The following link is a write up on Owner/Head Trainer, Kevin O’Malley’s Blog, about the benefits of Muscle Up Progressions without using Muscle Up Progressions. These people who were tested during the 8 week period, however, did have a good skill transfer for kipping muscle ups, but did lack upper body pulling + upper body pressing strength. Kevin breaks down the 8 week period in his template training, and describes his overall thought process of why decisions were made to skip muscle up progressions + focus on strength over skill.

On Ramp is a prerequisite and will prepare you to safely complete a regular class. These classes run 3 times a week for two weeks. The next open on ramp will begin Monday, November 18th, 2013. There are no more than 5-6  people per session so that we can ensure our athletes get the attention they need and can graduate feeling confident in their ability and knowledge of CrossFit. If you would rather complete the On Ramp individually or if these days and times don’t work for you, then we have a 5 session personal training option as well. These personal training sessions will also prepare you in movements and progressions like the class. If you are not sure which is the best path for you to take in order to reach your fitness goals please call us and make a free appointment for and assessment with one of our certified trainers.
