Great improvement mate - no doubt down to doing the muscle ups a bit faster.

Good stuff on the grip as well - dunno if I asked before but what exactly are around the worlds? Do you just swing those suckers about!?!

Yeah man. The muscle-ups are pretty noticeably faster, and all the squats were unbroken. I think previously I could do 100 but would then be too tired to complete the 75 as a single set.

The around the worlds are done with two or three plates of the same size. You just grip them in a pinch grip and work your hands around the edges going one way and then reverse. I think the diesel crew youtube site has a video of it that is better than my expanation.

Two bits of wisdom on these-
1. Stand in a sumo stance, as there is quite a bit of risk for your toes.
2. Chalk is essential.
