2 minutes rest
MU x 5 (PR)
HSPU x 1 (PR, increased my ROM so my head touched phone books)
3 minutes rest
MU + 5kg x 3 (PR, will be using 3kg, 5kg is just too much for short rest periods)

5x
[16+24kg one arm swing x 5
30 seconds rest]

NOTES:
-Using a backpack with the desired weight will force me to keep the rings close as I have to compensate for the weight pulling me back during the Muscle Up.
-Will be continuing as I am doing now for the Hand Stand Push Up, increasing the ROM until I touch my forehead to the floor. Next step is HSPU on parallettes. Curious to see how this carries over to the Military Press.
-Hope to be increasing my swing height of the 40kg one arm swing to about head height soon. Then I'll start adding reps.

NOTES:
-Added some bands to assist me in the muscle up for only 2 sets.
-The muscle up is really a very intense movement. If I could get
a Muscle up w/ 10kg, I think I would have increased my upper body strength
substantially.
-My legs were still tired of the previous evening bike ride home from work.
I will take it easier when faced with a heavy squat session the morning after.
