   I would like to finally announce to the world that after 2 years and 2 months and many tantrums I busted out 3 muscle ups last night! You have no idea what a relief it is to have done that!

   PS Speaking of muscle ups, has anyone else noticed Dave on the rings in the background on today’s image?! – So close… wonder if he pulled it off?!

     I think everyone is looking at the 60kg squat snatch… otherwise known as Amanda Rxd!
     And of course no one is thinking knees out, feet closer together and more weight needed thru the heels!

   I doubt Bernie was screaming MTL. Knowing Bernie she would have come down from the rings and in her usual quiet humble voice so no one could hear “I think I just got my first muscle up”. Well, that’s another goat ticked off. What’s next????

    You are absolutely right Deb. That is pretty much how it went. Garth and Dayelle witnessed the end of it and were gutted they didn’t see the whole thing. But I had to do a couple more and it was verified by the both of them! Whoop! Whoop!
    What’s next?… I guess to re-cycle muscle ups, but I really want to work on my olympic lifting! Not to mention handstand push ups, chest to bar pull ups…….and the list goes on! Haha!
