Hey all-sorry for the delay on my 2018 CrossFit Open debrief. I’ll likely have to do it in multiple postings. But this one deserves its own post.
I won’t make you wait to find out the happy ending to my 18.3 story. It happened people. Finally. I got my first ring muscle up. I’ve got a long story about the process to get there, but I’ll try to keep it short.
I want to tell you about the power of hard work and commitment. It is truly unfair how hard it has been for me to learn this high skill movement. But I can’t change my ability. I *can* just keep putting in the work until my body finally learns what it needs to do. The day of this open workout, I felt excited to try--I had put in the work, and now it was time to see if today was my day (hint: it was).
I want to tell you about the value of being supported by a coach who cares. I cannot count the number of hours Joe Sarti spent with me, practicing the movement patterns, doing the drills, and building strength. And my CFPA coaches Graeme and Tim have given me numerous drills and cues to help me build the skills and awareness required for this task.
I want to tell you about the explosion of support I received before, during and after I hit this muscle up. M. answered my call to be my judge and encouraged and advised me with just the right blend of intensity and calm. K. gave me the perfect cue after I missed my first attempt. And SO MANY friends are screaming their lungs out to help get me over those rings.
And after I hit it? The celebration was mine, but it was also ours. It was for my CFPA community who has watched me try and come up short year after year. It was for all the friends I’ve made along the way. And it was for all of us for whom things don’t come easily. It may not come when you want it, but if you put in enough work, it’s amazing what is possible. In the words of Mat Fraser, #HWPO
Without further ado, here is my new favorite movie. Prepare to cry some real unicorn tears.
When it come to doing pull ups you can do them anywhere you can safely hang. - In this video I show multiple pull up variations at the park. - My goal is to inspire you to try different kinds of pull ups on different kinds of surfaces. - • To change the grip you usually do • To get low & try an awkward position • Use and hang from chains • Hang from a roof • Hang from a tree • Use towels • Hang from a pole • Use skinny, fat, parallel & curved bars - Doing this will force you to get comfortable using different kinds of grips and surfaces and as a result your grip and hanging abilities will strengthen. - Which ultimately will result in being able to do more pull ups. - Next time you are at the gym try using a different grip when you do pull ups. - It might be challenging at the beginning but overtime your hands will stronger and you will be able to knock out more pull ups with ease ;) - 👉🏽 If you are looking to increase your reps in pull ups, push ups, dips and other bodyweight exercises. Send me a message & let’s talk. I offer Calisthenics coaching and would love to help you get stronger 💪🏽 . . . . . . #streetworkout #streetworkouts #barstarzz #bodyweight #bodyweightworkout #muscleup #calisthenics #movementculture # #pullupbar #barbrothers #calisthenicworkout #streetworkout #firstmuscleup #workoutroutines #gorillagang #noexcuses🚫 #calisthenic #sandiegofit #handstands #sandiegofitness #progressnotperfection #parkworkout #pullups #barstrength #motivationtoworkout #bodyweightexercises #strengthcamp (at San Diego, California)
Flash back to my first muscle up! #2012 💪🏼🎉 ••• False grip, bent arm start on plastic rings hanging from a basketball goal 🏀 on an elementary school playground...I was determined! ••• Not many things compare to the feeling of your first muscle up 💪🏼 ••• I’m sooooo excited to see how many CrossFitters get their first muscle up this weekend! #18point3 ••• #fbf #firstmuscleup #goodluck #crossfitopen
First time doing shoulder tap dips, feeling all proud of them and then... @dareeoh steals the spotlight with his handstands 😭😂 - Been working a lot more on dips since my shoulder injury and seeing huge progress but I need to learn how to handstand on parallel bars to do epic flows. - If anyone wants to improve their dips: Send me a DM or LEAVE A COMMENT and let’s talk! . . . . . . . #streetworkout #streetworkouts #barstarzz #bodyweight #bodyweightworkout #muscleup #calisthenics #movementculture #pulluporshutup #pullupbar #barbrothers #calisthenicworkout #streetworkout #firstmuscleup #workoutroutines #calisthenicsmovement #monkeybars #calisthenic #sandiegofit #handstands #sandiegofitness #progressnotperfection #calisthenicsaroundtheworld #letsgetstrong #barstrength #motivationtoworkout #bodyweightexercises #strengthcamp (at Tecolote Shores Park)
Throwback to 2012 when I lifted Atlas Stones w/ King @elliotthulse at @strengthcampofficial - First clip is from June 2012 at one of Elliott’s certifications & during that time I was really weak, had a dislocated shoulder, back pain and was around 140 pounds. - Despite all of that I was able to get one rep after trying and failing multiple times. - The second clip was 3 months after (Sept 2012) and during those 3 months I had gained 10 pounds, relieved my back pain and healed my shoulder injury. - I still failed a few times before getting one rep but my technique was better and I was stronger. - During those 3 months all I did was bodyweight training to gain muscle and put into action what I learned from Elliott to fix my muscle imbalances. - To this day (almost 6 years later) I still use what I learned during that strength certification to create effective workout programs. - Elliott I owe you a lot and I am grateful I got to have you as my coach, friend and mentor. - Just like Elliott helped me I wanna help you. If you are skinny like I used to be or wanna get get stronger I would love to train you. - Send me a DM or LEAVE A COMMENT and let’s talk! 💪🏽 . . . . . . . #streetworkout #streetworkouts #barstarzz #bodyweight #bodyweightworkout #muscleup #calisthenics #movementculture #pulluporshutup #pullupbar #barbrothers #calisthenicworkout #streetworkout #firstmuscleup #workoutroutines #calisthenicsmovement #monkeybars #elliotthulse #sandiegofit #handstands #sandiegofitness #progressnotperfection #calisthenicsaroundtheworld #letsgetstrong #barstrength #motivationtoworkout #bodyweightexercises #strengthcamp (at Strength Camp Gym)

Last week I had the pleasure of learning from @thechrisbarnard @overtimeathletes about business & training. - The main message that Chris highlighted was to always be yourself. Be true to your roots, personality & methods. - Stand up for what you believe in and don’t copy what the masses are doing. You don’t wanna be another “Me-Tooer” as he called it. - I also had the opportunity to crush a workout along him and his team. Chris’s methods are all based around boosting athletic performance to dominate your sport. - Since working out with him I have been implementing more jumping, sprinting and explosive training into my own and client’s workouts. - The workouts are getting really fun and I can already feel myself becoming more explosive & jumping higher. - I wanna encourage anyone that wants to improve their training to go meet the mentors you respect, admire & learn from. Even if you have to travel go meet these coaches, athletes and trainers; the experience is well worth it and you will become a better athlete. - 👉🏽 I wanna ask you: Is there any athletes or coaches you recommend I connect with? Please let me know in the comments, I am always looking to learn more so I can become better & help you reach your goals faster. 💪🏽 . . . . . . #streetworkout #streetworkouts #barstarzz #bodyweight #bodyweightworkout #muscleup #calisthenics #movementculture #pulluporshutup #pullupbar #barbrothers #calisthenicworkout #streetworkout #firstmuscleup #workoutroutines #overtimeathletes #calisthenicsmovement #monkeybars #calisthenic #sandiegofit #handstands #sandiegofitness #progressnotperfection #calisthenicsaroundtheworld #letsgetstrong #barstrength #motivationtoworkout #bodyweightexercises #strengthcamp (at Strength Camp Gym)
