I did:

Time: 10:08

I learned that J's approximation of a muscle up was to jam to exercises together (only one of which [dips] can i complete 20 consecutive iterations), I paired the possible around the possible to complete the impossible. If I had gone Straight Through, this might have taken me an hour.

And now consider what Crossfit.com says is a suitable substitution for 1 muscle-up:

"Pullups and dips. Some have suggested 1 min of both somewhat equates to one muscle-up. Most common substitution is 3 pullups +3 dips, or 4 pullups +4 dips."

i did, however, eke out about 3/4 of a muscle-up the other day.
