In mid January CrossFit London issued a challenge 7 guys stepped up to the challenge. The challenge do one muscle-up on the rings by April 1st or do a workout of coaches choice in a dress of their choice. The goal was to have 100% success with getting 7 more men into the muscle up club. Three guys made it on time, and 4 missed the cut-off. Being a gym that focuses on accountability we had a BBQ to let all the other members know,they could be next!
I think with the help of some burgers and sausages that everyone can say they had a good time.
I would like to thank Bob, Nate, John, and Glen for being such good sports about the whole event... I guess my crappy photo editing made for a tiny bit more hype than expected.
Please keep in mind that these guys took on a challenge that most of you would not. That takes guts and that effort alone should be celebrated.
I would also like to announce that shortly after the workout and even a burger Nate had decided that he wanted one more try. Nate was successful in getting his first muscle up on the rings. Congrats Nate, I'm sure you won't soon forget the day you got your first muscle-up.
I would also like to remind the guys that dress day was just another training day on the journey to getting a muscle-up... Nate has officially retired his dress and I would like to see the other dresses put into retirement as well.
if anyone is a good amateur video editor, we have some excellent HD quality footage and stills that we are looking to get together into a video to remember the day... just let me know
