Athlete Notes:
Today’s workout is from the 2018 CrossFit Games! We made an individual option for you, as well as the team option! Chip away at the muscle ups as best you can, but try to get through them in no more than 6-7 sets. The back squats and push presses should be coordinated with your partner to finish as fast as possible. If you’re doing the individual option, try to get through them in 2-3 sets, or less. Short sets with fast reps seems to be the ticket here, but if you’re exceptionally strong you can bang through these in bigger sets! If the barbell slows down though, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! Don’t be a hero, remember you’ve got a teammate resting. As long as the bar keeps moving fast you’re good! The box jump overs are a challenging finish after all that barbell, and they’re surprisingly gassing. Find a good rhythm alternating with your partner and just keep jumping! Have some fun, test yourself against a Games workout, and earn your weekend!
