Athlete Training Notes:
High volume mixed with relatively heavy lifting. Look to open up the workout with 1-2 sets to get the 15 reps. From there it’s not a bad idead to break the deadlifts into a 6-5-4 type strategy unless you know you’re going to be able to get right back onto the rings for the 12 muscle ups. Break here, shake the arms, grab it and go again. If you lose a few seconds here but make it up by not breaking as much or resting as much on the rings, then you’re golden. After the 12 muscle ups we’re back to the barbell for 15 front squats. This is a weight that the 15 reps should be challenging but that you could grind it out in one set, it just won’t feel good doing it. Pro tip, if you struggle on the rings, adjust your weights to the second and third weight BEFORE going back to the rings. It gives you a little added rest before starting the higher skill movement. After the front squats we’re back to the rings for the final 9 reps where we’re looking to finish out again in 1-2 sets. Once those are out of the way all that stands between you and the finish line is 15 overhead squats. Again this should be a weight that you can do in 1 set, it just might hurt a little but there’s light at the end of the tunnel so grit it out and don’t drop it unless you outright fail a rep.
