    Nicole Carroll demonstrates a muscle-up, which I can not do. (crossfit.com)
    Warning: Here there be MASSIVE scaling.  The basic concept of this workout appears to be a very heavy version of that CrossFit chestnut, "Fran."  However, I still don't have a muscle-up, and have NEVER put that much weight overhead (I don't think... possible I might have with something like a power-snatch).  So, I opted to scale it back.  Still heavier than my usual thruster weight (75-85#), so an added 540# (more or less) total to the workout.  Not shabby.  Opted to only do 2 each pull-ups and dips for each Rx'ed muscle-up, otherwise the workout would have been more about the fantastic number of pull-ups and dips, rather than the triplet of the three movements.

    Total Time: 8:20
    (Splits: 3:15, 3:00, 2:05)


    Musical accompaniment: Hank Williams III (kick-assed rebel country with a punk sensibility. Oh HELL'S yes!)

    (As you can see, the music was not just for the workout, but for whole time I was in the gym. Changing, warm-up, set-up, work-out, cool-down, and changing again.)
