The muscle ups went much better this week than last week. I watched some of Carl Paoli's videos on non-false grip muscle ups and I think that helped a lot. Now I am trying to think more about throwing my hips towards the rings and keeping everything tighter. Sometimes I still bring my arms out too wide which causes me to fail. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get all 10 both times, I just need to keep doing these. They are starting to feel a lot more comfortable which is a good sign. The squat clean/CTB thing sucked, the cleans felt really heavy and got more difficult with each round. The CTBs were ok but I ripped my hand near the end. Oops.

Well today did not go as I had hoped. I was looking forward to doing 13.3 again because I have been doing so many wall balls lately I knew I would be able to improve my Karen time. When I did 13.3 in March, my Karen time was like 9:40 or something and I wanted to beat that. Once I started, I felt like I was on pace to beat my old time because I was doing the wall balls in sets of 10 and they felt really good. Then about 30 wall balls in, I got a nosebleed. I'm not sure if I hit myself in the face with the ball, I don't really remember doing that, or if it was just a random nosebleed, but it threw everything off. At first I was confused as to where the blood was coming from, then it started dripping all down my shirt, all over the floor and all over the ball. I kept going because I didn't want to stop, but after about 50 wall balls I had to run and get a towel. Every 10 wall balls I had to stop and press the towel to my nose to try and stop the bleeding so I could get through another set of WB, then during the set of wall balls I was swallowing all the blood, it was gross. It got all over the ball, all over me, all over the ground, and now there is blood on the 9 foot target haha. I came off the wall balls around 11:00 and knew I wasn't going to be able to come anywhere close to what I got last time, which was all the double unders plus 3 MUs. I only got 30 double unders before time ran out. I was so frustrated because the wall balls felt really good (besides the whole swallowing blood part) but physically they felt great and I was disappointed that the nosebleed threw me off. I really want to do this again maybe in a few weeks because i know I can improve my Karen time. Stupid nosebleed.
