Great idea, its needed every now and again!
The pin presses i mentioned did wonders for me, I would just start at a plate, hit a triple. Then keep adding weight until I couldn’t get a triple.

When the time comes I shall definitely try this!
I think I’d benefit the most from tricep work. I literally don’t even have a tricep muscle. It’s very sad.
You have a good ohp and are hitting weighted dips…you have something there buddy!

Decent back day. Told a girl I’d been on a few dates with I no longer wanted to pursue anything with her. I knew I was going to do it so my mood was already low, just got lower after I told her. She was a good spirit about it so hopefully she’s not upset or hurt. Sucks mane

Where are all the MUs you have promised?
I’m not ready to film them yet, only up to 6 right now. Still working.
If you are already up to 6 consecutive reps, that’s pretty impressive.
I’m lying lol I was gonna attempt some yesterday after the gym but I was just wiped out. I’m still sitting at zero

That’s why I wrote “if” to start my post, as I suspected you were full of shit lol. Plus you surely would have logged them and rubbed my nose in it.

What is a MU?
Muscle ups
I think I am strong enough, but I don’t know if I can do one of these. I’d probably hurt my elbow trying lol. It’s kinda a technique thing, right? I’ve heard if you can do 10+ pullups, that a muscle up is possible if you figure it out.
I’ve tried them a couple times before watching the for videos. It seems to favor skill more than strength. Of course I haven’t done one yet so I could be wrong. I was extremely close while just trying to rip my body over the bar, I’m thinking once I get the technique down I’ll be alright.
The problem is ole @Cyrrex here is doing them strict lol

I would say that you have to have a basic minimum of strength, but then it takes technique and timing to figure out how to get over the bar. Making them strict will require more of both strength and skill.
Once you figure them out, I think of them more of a power move, the anatomical opposite of a Clean and Press.

Active rest day!
Went hiking with the kids in a place that had abandoned mines. Couldn’t get in them but it was a super cool piece of history that played a big part in making a name for my city. 120+ years old!
Then we played hide and seek tag which turned into just normal tag.
Then we played a game where you threw a ball and if you dropped it you had to do 5 push-ups lol eventually kicked it down to 3 for the kids and then ultimately handing out free passes before it was over
Gonna probably do an arm day tomorrow instead of hitting shoulders. We shall see.

I wish I could ride just adding weight on ohp all the way to 180 for reps lol. Killin it man.

It’s been a strange journey to get here requiring not much thought or planning lol. At some point it will most likely slow down and require a bit more thought. The way 180 felt compared to 175 leads me to believe I’m getting close to that “threshold”. I’m sure everybody has a certain number for any given lift they can just stumble their way to, after that is where the work takes place.
Or, it could continue going up and up lol who knows. Just along for the ride!
