Being out of practice on the muscle-ups and shoulder-injury concerns gave me all the excuses I needed to go slowly on the MU today. Tough workout even w/o pushing too fast.
21 pullups/21 dips/21 SDHP is a bitch! Four rounds was plenty for me.
I skipped the MUs because I really suck at those due to the fact that I've been doing chinups since day one as opposed to pullups. I've been doing chin-ups for two reasons: (1) because they were easier for me when I was starting and (2) because there is only one "straight bar" in the gym and it's impossible to do PULLups on the curved bar.
So, before I start to ramble and end up with an absurdly long post, I have decided to quit CHINups cold-turkey and start doing only PULLups! I've actually wanted to do this for a long time. It just took the embarassment of near-zero muscle-up skills to make it happen.
