Athlete Notes:
Today’s EMOM we’re mixing cardio and gymnastics. Most of our Tuesday’s in this cycle are going to have that focus in mind. We want to take the first half of the session and really dial in some positional skill work and movement progressions. The second half of the workout will be a long workout to get you sweaty and practice your skills under a little fatigue. This cycle is our first in the offseason, but we also know that a lot of qualifiers are right around the corner, so we can’t spend it neglecting some higher skill gymnastics movements with a “CrossFit” style stimulus. The goal for today is around 40-45 seconds on the two aerobic minutes, then hang on for the full 30 seconds on the muscle ups and toes to bar. Modifications for the muscle ups can be bar muscle ups, chest to bars, ring dips, or another movement of your choice.

Optional Additional Work Sessions
