The bottom of the dip is overlooked in the progression to the muscle-up. Practicing this position will improve your movement!

22kg muscle snatch - light-ish to protect the back. with a 20 min cut-off for the WOD, i got 40 + 5 pull-ups + 3 transitions (did banded dips from the rings & bars as a mod). managed to work a nasty little blister onto the palmar crease on my L thanks to those transitions.
Hope that heals quick Pants! I got a tear too :(
Got to the 6am this morning (eep!) -- didn't have much time to work on the muscle snatch and didn't realize we were doing muscle snatch vs reg snatch til later (too early maybe?) anyway.. Just did those at 25kg.
Then got up to 24 muscle ups at 20 min cut off. :) very happy with my first time trying this at Rx!
SO CLOSE to my muscle-up today. Got to the top of the rings.........slowly progressing!
