I'm still just trying to maintain. 8 months and I'll qualify as a masters powerlifter....and then all the medals are mine... Since there will only be 2-3 people in my age group and weight class 馃榿

My little dude joined me tonight. His deadlift form is starting to get decent.

A win is a win and you can't control who shows up to compete!

What pull-up level are you?

I'm stuck on 5 and 6. Can do muscle-ups if there's some momentum. Can also do 6, but not for that long.

~8 from a dead hang. I'm too heavy and not explosive enough for muscle ups. I've never been able to do them.

I didn't think I could do them until I did, but it wears me out so much.

LvL 9, except I have both hands in my pockets.
I'm not tall enough to reach that bar it needs to be set at a lower level! 馃ぃ馃挭

Muscle-ups don't feel to good on the joints. I am pretty sure I could do them with a little practice, but my shoulders don't like the idea. I can do slow pull-ups to the chest, and can do two wide grip pull-ups from a dead hang with 70lbs strapped to my waist. I can do a front lever for a short period of time, but that guy performs each of the skills in such a beautifully controlled way. It is something to aspire to. When I try those skills it looks completely different.
