‘Moral Support’ defined: “help to face pressure: personal support and encouragement intended to bolster somebody’s courage or determination”.

That is what this group was doing last night as they tried to get Sean his first muscle up.  I love this aspect of our gym as everyone came together to offer advice and encouragement. Although there was some definite joking and good natured ribbing taking place at Sean’s expense (you’re not strong enough bro!), all those gathered around wanted to see him achieve that first one.  He came close on several occasions and with continued practice on the transition phase plus some serious ARCFit moral support, I’m sure there is a muscle up in the near future for Sean!-CN
