As Rx’d
If you cannot do a muscle up use a 5/1 ratio.
150 pull ups 150 dips
or
3/1 ratio seated muscle ups
90 seated muscle ups
Yes I have scaled up here. If you have been CrossFitting for awhile you should be able to do a muscle up, it is not even a rated gymnastics move, it is simply the way a ringman gets up on top of the rings to START his routine.
The Porch:
As Rx’d
If you cannot do a muscle up use a 4/1 ratio.
120 pull ups 120 dips
or
2/1 ratio seated muscle ups

I'm still trying for my first muscle up but I thought would share this cool inspirational video on the main site.
And no Gabe, the Asian guy on the right is not me.

Which CF exercise involves a dismembered head stuck to the wall?
wall ball
Has anyone seen a set of black etymotic earphones floating around the box? I think I lost them on wednesday. If you found them, please email me at rorycberger AT gmail. Thanks.
Rory
Check the lost and found bin. There were some headphones found very recently.
10:34. I suck at muscle ups
Although I think Gilson writes great articles and I can't wait until new ones come out the link above was actually written by Patrick Cummings.
It's easy to mistake because he has some top notch writing/story telling skills as well.
Thanks Jeff, will do.
Urbanathlon- Apologies if this is a repeat, but I am disappointed that there will be no NYC Urbanathlon this year. I ran the last two years and they were the most fun I ever had racing.
For those with family or friends in the Chicago area, they are still doing that race. If you are interested, definitely sign up early. Both races filled up fast, with last year's NYC being closed out 2 months before race date . With only one race this year, I would assume it will fill up even earlier.
Hey Kurt-
Why aren't they doing a NYC Urbanathlon this year? I ran in it the last two years as well and it was a great time.
Erik
DNF at 30min cap (28 Muscle-ups) so effing close.
+ 8 burpees
Happy Birthday, Hari! Thanks for all you do at CFNYC!
Silly question but will there be a 5:30 class tonight?
Happy B-day Hari!
Oh, boy! Happy Birthday Hari!!!!!!! I second Levi's thanks.
Brian, I'm pretty sure there's never a 5:30 on Fridays.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARI
yOU ARE CATCHING up TO
THAT OLD GUY THAT WORKS FOR YOU.
Happy Birthday Hari.
Happy Birthday Hari!
Happy birthday, Hari.
Happy Birthday, Hari!
Many happy returns.
Great coaching from Jacinto this morning!
No way I was going to do Muscle Ups with my arm still messed up, but Jacinto worked Chris and I through some excellent progressions to practice the movement and work form.
Then, as promised, Jacinto worked with me on my Deadlift form. Serious coaching and form dissection which really improved my deadlift. I may be starting to understand that lift a little - and it made the heavier lifts seem so much lighter! Gracias, Jacinto!
Today's quote of the day comes from Brian (who totally smoked today's WOD and made it look easy in the process):
"Two isn't enough...and three is too much"
Happy Birthday Hari. Crossfit NYC is continuing to grow and progress on your watch.
I am still sore from Wed Black Box WOD of heavy SDHP and 150 wall ball shots with side order of muscle ups.
Happy Birthday Hari.

Today's WOD RX'D:
4:29 which is almost 8 minutes faster than last time. Must be all the vodka I drank last night!
9:55 - 30 kneeling to standing MUs (tried and mostly failed not to jump at all) followed by 10 starting from the top of the dip, putting my feet on a box, going to the bottom, back, and pushing through (does that description make sense) - Keith suggested this maneuver, which was great practice for me
Then 10-1 ladder of pullups and ring dips with lavender band (13:08)
Thanks Keith!
happy birthday, Hari!
Happy birthday Hari!
17 MUs in 4:34 but the rings are so heavily taped that I now have no arm hair left on the outside of my forearms. I abandoned ship and moved onto heavy KB swings and GHD work.
Happy Birthday Hari!

Brian, that race looks like a beautiful location and that's a great performance by Team Crossfit. But by 8.6 miles I'm just warming up :)
Happy Birthday, Hari!

Happy birthday, Hari!!!
nice time hari.
24:23 w/ major substitutions - 120 green band pull-ups and 120 box jumps.
I love crossfit.
*box dips. I already have Kelly on the brain.
5:51
first time rx'd - last time this came up was my 2nd WOD and the first time I had attempted a muscle up.... needless to say i didn't have them then.
Mental note for next time - lower yourself in a controlled manner rather than dropping down and catching yourself on the rings to avoid tearing skin off your hand... Ouch!
(33,28)
Happy b-day, Hari.
Substitution RX, 120 pullups and 120 ring dips in 29:30.
heavy weighted pullups the day before plus about 30 muscleups the day before nft.

I definitely appreciate all of the tough work that you've done keeping this website here for all of us. I honestly hope this sticks around for a nice long time.
Hi, superb article, I thouroughly enjoyed reading it. This blog gave me the kick to attempt my own blog, please see my blog by clicking my name at the top of this article, thanks
I had got a dream to start my business, but I did not earn enough amount of cash to do that. Thank goodness my mate said to utilize the personal loans. Thence I took the car loan and realized my old dream.
Simply want to say your article is brilliant. The lucidity in your post is simply spectacular and i can assume you are an expert on this subject. Well with your permission allow me to grab your rss feed to keep up to date with future post. Thanks a million and please keep up the admirable work.
Hey admin, very informative blog post! Pleasee continue this awesome work..
I would like to propose not to hold off until you earn big sum of money to order goods! You should get the personal loans or small business loan and feel free
