After 12 1/2 minutes of trying I’ve never been so happy to get one single rep in my entire life!! This single Muscle up Allows me, for the first time since the @crossfit Open started, to post a score on the @crossfitgames site. Thanks @thedavecastro for putting MUs first so I could get a score! @cfunbroken @barbellsforboobs @reebok @refactortactical @natebehavior #thankheavensImtopheavy #teamtopheavy #wheelchairgang #FirstLegitOpenScoreSince2013 #Repost @natebehavior with @repostapp.
