Athlete Notes:
Today we have some shorter pieces that are meant to burn. The first workout is going to be movements that will not fatigue you to failure. Some of you may have noticed on 21.3/21.4 that it is difficult to gauge how hard you can allow yourself to go and still have energy for a heavy lift. Well this is going to be similar except you will be testing a hard gymnastics skill after the first piece. Use this as an opportunity to test yourself. Push this first workout like it is a main event. Your lungs are going to get fired up but since this piece is pretty balanced, you’ll just be overall fatigue going into part two rather than having a certain muscle group blown up.

Part two will take some strategy. Use as much leg drive as possible for your dumbbell thrusters so your arms just act as ropes connecting your hands to the dumbbells. The more you can relax and save your shoulders with the dumbbell thrusters the more you will have in the tank for your muscle-ups. Every athlete will be different when it comes to the muscle-ups. If you are a muscle-up king/queen then try and go unbroken in your division. If you feel comfortable with muscle-up accumulation but struggle with big sets then try breaking them up into doubles and triple sets. If muscle-ups are a weakness then try for singles and watch the clock so you can stay diligent at jumping back up to the rings (for example: complete 1 muscle-up every 15 seconds).
