Josef Roberts had never attempted a muscle up in his brief 6-month CrossFit career. So when then the gymnastics movement showed up in 15.3, he wanted to give it a try. After practicing a few drills and techniques, Josef got his first muscle up during the Open. He then added three more during the 14-minute WOD.

Josef’s willingness to go outside his comfort zone and try new things is what CrossFit is all about. The self-proclaimed lover of burpees has put in a lot of emphasis on improving all aspects of his health and fitness and it has paid off.

Congratulations Josef! We are very proud of you!!
