30 Muscle-Ups for Time PR? Nope…

My last PR for the good ol’ 30 Muscle-ups for time was 10 minutes. Maybe just a hair longer actually, but still not half bad. Now, there’s more strategy in the 30 muscle ups for time WOD than most others. It turns out that trying to bust out 30 as fast as possible leads to failure much earlier than if you pace yourself.

To get to the 10 minute mark, I had to hit 1 muscleup every 20 seconds, which I more or less did.

Tonight I thought I’d try and break that PR. My goal was to get 1 muscle-up every 15 seconds. By doing so, I’d get down to 7 and a half minutes total - something to truely be proud about, I know…

So did I do it?? Nope… Video evidence of my failure at around the 20 mark to follow…
