That is way cool. I would be equally amused to see the faces of the onlookers ��

lol.. I was thinking the same thing.

It looks to me already... I would imagine just kicking up to the handstand would be difficult enough with the uneven surfaces.

My gym doesn't pay me much attention.

Shoulder continues to improve.

That is awesome Chris

I am sure some of the people at the gym are motivated by the things you try... nothing worse than doing the same thing constantly.

Shoulder continues to improve.

I just tweaked mine doing handstand pushups... felt a slow and slight tearing... I am hoping it turns out to be minor.

Love the difficulty rating... bang on

Thanks for the support guys.

Started working on my ankle strength so I've added these foot hold weighted pull ups into the end of my back workout.

BW+107lb

You make the best gifs. Hands down.

I couldn't even do a pull-up with half that weight, let alone with my ankles hooked like that

What surprised me is how much more diaphragm I use for the same weight. It really stretches me out and I have to tense everything a lot more.

Started working on my Farmers again. Shoulder continues to improve/heal. 185 ea hand at 180 bodyweight.

Hi Lou!!! Thanks for the kind words.

Not bragging, just sharing my enthusiasm for the progress my shoulder is making after what felt like a devistating injury just before NinjaWarior and a very painful summer. Today it tolerated a modifed 70 lb one arm snatch of sorts without much effort and zero pain. I think had 100 in me but Im being cautious.

[cmoore]

So 95s are pretty easy. Went for 115 today and couldn't quite get it. #NextTime

[cmoore]

I made a little more progress with my one arm snatch. My form is still garbage but 105 lbs is coming up pretty easy anyways. More importantly, my shoulder is pan free doing them, which is huge because it wasn't that long ago I needed help just to change my shirt.

[JohnButz]

Awesome work and progression on the snatch Chris!

[cmoore]

Awesome work and progression on the snatch Chris!

Thanks John. I need to clean my form up a ton yet but I think as my confidence increases and my shoulder pain decreases the lift will keep going up.

Today I managed 115 both side without pain.



sorry I only vid'd the right, but left was similar

[fittofattofit]

Beautiful work with the one armed snatch Chris! That vid of the 105 from the side was amazing .... just a perfect upward path and all done in a 1 second vid
It's hard enough doing a one-arm snatch with a light kettle bell or dumbbell but doing it with a barbell and at 115lbs is huge. Are you doing any regular (2 arm) snatches? I've never seen you do those before, but this would imply that you can do at least 105kg for a snatch
Great work as always Chris!

Thanks Andrew. I haven't done any true snatch work partly because I don't have proper shoes and partly because I think they're harder on an ailing shoulder. By that I'm talking about the ROM limitation that comes when both shoulders are tied together by way of the bar.

I also just think the one arm snatch is cooler and more old time strongman.

Edward Aston is my hero (he could one hand snatch 180 and weighed 172).

In the United Kingdom, on July 24, 1913, at Crystal Palace, London, Edward Aston became the first Englishman to lift 300 lbs. overhead with one hand. Amongst his variety of feats, Aston could do a single arm snatch with 180 lbs. and single handed clean to the shoulder with 250 lbs./113.3 kg.

Merry Christmas Chris!

The one armed snatch with either a dumbbell or a kettle bell is very much a CrossFit standard
Very hard to do it with the barbell because of the balance factor and that 115 is a huge lift!

Hope you had a great family Christmas Chris

Remember those proteolytic enzymes you tried last time you hurt your shoulder. Try them again....

[cmoore]

sorry for spotty updates..

Shoulder is healed and feel bulletproof.

I've tossed my hat in the ring for ANW8. Selection is never assured but I'm hopeful that I'll get one more chance at winning it all for Shriners Children Hospitals

[fittofattofit]

No way could I stand on two medicine balls like that without doing a faceplant wishing 2 seconds
Good news about the shoulder Chris and good luck wth the ANW for 2016

Here's a clip for ya regarding ball balance.

Freaking incredible!

I would of immediately fell into that rack, most likely ending up hospitalized.

Best of luck in the 2016 round Chris!

[securekey]

Looking good CM. Love the new vids.... cool stuff.

Your shoulder width is excellent... gives you a great athletic V taper.

[Euqinom]

I learnt a new phrase through your blog!

HAve you thought of/considered giving workshops to help raise money?

[cmoore]

Meant to post this one a while back for Andrew...



1-18-2016 Shoulder's feeling good enough to start adding more and more rotational movements (especially external rotation) so I've started doing these again. 70 lb dbells are not that much but feels like a win after all my shoulder went through in 2015.

[fittofattofit]

Both of those vids are amazing Chris! I'd love to do just one muscle up and you're doing them so easily and quickly that you can do them with claps , and 70lbs with a freestanding shoulder press like that is a huge feat
Awesome to have the shoulders recovered so well to do both of those

[cmoore]

Today was kind of a big day for me. First time since last year's shoulder injury that I benched 335 without pain or concern. I think I might have had a few more pounds in me yet. Then managed 185 standing overhead barbell press (didnt vid). Very cool to feel like I'm healed up.

[mirroroferised]

That was a nice bench man. And those vids from the other day were amazing as always in here. Good to hear your shoulder is doing well
