“Nate” - “puppies”
AMRAP 12 minutes
2 x {3 pullups, 3 bar dips} (95lb assist)
4 pushups
8 DB swings 25lbs
6 rounds + everything but 1 DB swing (drat!)
Out: stretch, 1mi @ 6.5mph treadmill
I have learned the hard way that the 95lb assist is the embarrassing but correct amount in a workout where I have to sub for a muscle-up. The combination of movements in this WOD was a killer and I was clearly limited by the pullup-dip combo + pushups. Removing any one of those three would not have been near as bad. I felt like I could rest my shoulders during the swings by “popping” open my hips to drive the dumbell up. I even did an extra DB swing on one round when I got into the groove.
I ordered rings yesterday, so my journey to the ring dip begins soon!

Until I went to the affiliate, I did not truly understand the KBS. What you discuss here above is the primary means by which the bell is supposed ot be moved - it’s almost all hips. The only shoulder in here is perhaps a little tug at the end to move the bell overhead (taking it from a Russian swing to an American Swing). If the bell stands upright overhead, then you did it right. If it droops, you used too much arm/not enough hip. Hope this helps.

did jumping MU’s with rings at 6’3” (3 inches above my head) for 6 rounds, then began to fail so lowered rings to 6’0 for last 4 rounds. I see a true MU on the horizon…. HSPUP’s were piked with feet on 42” railing.
