I made my goal - I got one bar muscle-up! In total today, I got three and a half bar muscle-ups, but only one was during the workout. I'm counting my no-rep during the workout as a half, because I almost had it, but I ended up kicking sideways and hitting the side pole which helped me get up - oops! I'm pretty darn pleased that I got any, considering today is the first day I've really tried to do a bar muscle-up.
Andria was kind enough to take a video of me doing my bar muscle-up, and it is not pretty. Let's just say that it took 13 seconds for me to get up there. I'm hoping that once my poor tortured hands heal up a bit I can practice some more and get a much nicer bar muscle-up and maybe get a few at a time.
Earlier today I got to see someone else get their first bar muscle-up and it's really exhilarating when you get to experience that. There were also a number of really solid performances by the other athletes at CrossFit Cedar Park. It's such a great community with a good atmosphere, it's a lot of fun cheering everyone on.
