Muscle-up Mahem

This afternoon was a muscle-up test for me.  I haven’t attempted a muscle-up in months let alone consecutive muscle-ups.  In fact thinking back on it, I’m not sure I have attempted them more than twice before anyway.  But hey, why not give it a shot even if it takes me hours to get it done. 
I set off to complete the following workout for time:
12, 9, 6 of the following, ensuring all exercises are completed before moving down the ladder:
·         Muscle-ups
·         Squat cleans @ 40kg weight
Time = 19:30
After completing the workout I realised I struggled to complete more than 2 muscle-ups in a row before my false grip slipped into a regular grip.  Once my grip changed I was unable to perform a muscle-up.  I am now going to go back to the drawing board to work on completing muscle-ups with a neutral grip so that I can complete multiple muscle-ups no matter what my grip is.  This should also help with muscle-ups that I might have to jump up to the rings to begin.
