"Elizabeth"
For time:

Clean 135 pounds
Ring dips
SO many things coming up! Just want to give you all a few reminders.
This Saturday at 8 am is the Biddle Test (fire academy test) at Rio Hondo Fire Academy. Parking at the school and carpooling is a great idea which I fully support :)
Also this Saturday at 4 pm we have the all-school bonfire at Bolsa Chica State Beach. I'll post the tower information when I know what it is (some time on Saturday).
September 19th RKC Level II Team Leader Peter Lakatos returns for a 2-2.5 hour kettlebell seminar at 10 am in Tustin. The workshop will be applicable for people who attended the first series as well as who did not; there will be some review and practice but some new movements. Please sign up at Tustin or Cherry- the cost is $35 until the 15th and $50 thereafter.
September 26th is Fight Gone Bad IV at 10 am at Cherry! Good times, and good chance to do some charity work (all donations go to Athletes for a Cure and the Wounded Warrior Project).
Finally... October 1 is Part 1 of the Fran Challenge (Part 2 will be held in Tustin on November 21). Same rules apply as last time- pay $30 ($20 of which goes into the pot). Then... Crossfit. A lot! Work on your thrusters and pullups. 60% of the pot goes to the person with the biggest improvement; 40% goes to the person with the fastest rx'd time. EVERYONE who did the Grace Challenge improved- seriously- and Matt and Lori walked away with $96 and $144 respectively! Put your money where your mouth is, people! :)

question: is "kipping" generally considered acceptable on ring dips, or should it be a strict movement? By kipping I mean shooting your feet down while powering up with the arms...

Great job folks! Where is everybody else...nobody likes elizabeth?
Hm. Good question, Matt. I looked this one up in the journal and couldn't find much on it- so my take is that yes, it's acceptable, but ideally you want to work toward making it as strict a movement as possible. Example = start off doing them strict and then when you can't, shift to kipping.
Any other trainers able to find anything else on this? I may have missed something since I've donated half my brain to my baby...

Great job today!
I watched a vid of Petranek and some folks doing Elizabeth, and they seemed to do exactly that... strict dips until the reps got too hard, then a bit of a kick. Works for me...
Moose: you are awesome.

I don't have any problems w/a little "kip" or kick. If you look at muscle up demos and progressions, you'll see people will often kick to get themselves up from the bottom of the ring dip after a transition.
It could even be a better use of your core-with a kick you may engage that stomach a little more in order to get yourself up. :)
Hey Jen, I found this on youtube regarding the kipping ring dip.
