Tips from the Invictus Coaches

Pace yourself. You don’t want to redline in the first five rounds and have nothing left for the second part so pace yourself!
Get a good rack position so the bar can sit on the shoulders with hands relaxed. You don’t want to be ‘muscling’ the thruster.
Break sooner rather than later. It won’t do you any good to open with an unbroken set on your pull-ups to just drop down to singles on round two. Break sooner than you think you need to and just be quick to jump back up to the bar.
Respect the weight. Once you get into that second weight your legs will be fatigued so respect the barbell weight by focusing on good form.
Chalk the pull up bar. This will help you have a little more grip for your pull ups and bar muscle ups.
