Good Mornings & Muscle Ups/Bottom Ups Day 2

Good Morning w/ 50kg x 8
2 minutes rest
Good Morning w/ 70kg x 6 (PR)
3 minutes rest
Good Mornings w/ 74kg x 6 (PR)

[Good Mornings w/ 68kg x 3 x 5
1 minute rest]

15 minute PR Zone:
[Muscle Up w/ 5kg x 22
Bottom Up Clean w/ 24kg x 22]

NOTES:
-Good Mornings went well and decided to stop at 74kg to keep my technique smooth.
-Will probably be upping the weight with the muscle-ups next time and I think I will be able to get the same amount of reps I got today (+/- 20).
-Aside from a recent article by Mark Rippetoe, discussing the estimated minimum for starting crossfit, I discovered another very interesting piece on crossfit and the importance of a good strength base:
"Coach Glassman discussed this with me recently, in a conversation about increasing CrossFit’s strength base. We have talked many times about the fact that people who come to CrossFit from a strength-training background tend to perform better in the key aspects of the program."
