The Force Is Strong In This One...
Buds is in the midst of The CrossFit Open, which for CrossFitters is like the run up to the Olympics. It’s a very intense time, and Buds was frustrated when the one CF move he hasn’t yet conquered was the first move in last week’s competition.
It’s called a “muscle up,” and is a very gymnastic movement. (That’s CF speak for, “it favors those with lighter body weight.”) Buddie, he’s built of solid muscle. Muscle ain’t light.
This is what a muscle up looks like “at the top” of the movement.
Buds hasn’t yet mastered it, but here’s a lovely video of he and our friend Sarah, working hard to figure it out.
Next year, Buddie. Next year!
