Funky Cold Mwodinas,

Today’s piece is about prepping for the muscle up.
After you spend 8-10 minutes working out your upper body prep, grab a pain ball and unglue your glutes.

    I seem to be having huge impingement issues after the muscle ups. Example I did about 20 or so yesterday just for practice now today I am having trouble pressing and turning off my bedside lamp. What is that all about?

    Kstar, this is Manny. Active Duty military Diver as well as recently certified Level 1 CF trainer. I'm always kicking in the water with fins. However, what type of mobility WOD would you recommend for a recovering groin strain? I'ts been about two months now with it and it goes up and down. I'm always finning in the water and it triggers the upset groin(right side groin) harshly, very annoying. Of course i feel it at the bottom of my heavy squats and during fast twitch movements, ie., double unders also. I've got (based on your recommendation) lacrosse balls coming out of my ears at this point to hit it.
    Is it hip mobility? regards, Manny Hooyah Crossfit!

    Just posting to say thanks to both KStar and Jstar for all the great MobWods. Just listened to KStar on CFRadio, glad we're getting more than shots of your nuts!

    Did this one last night. Had trouble really rolling around on the lacrosse ball in the high hip region; it felt like the ball was either on the hip bone or going to slip away. It could've been that the floor/clothes were too slippery.
