Athlete Notes:

Muscle up volume is on it’s way today! The goal for the first two round segment is to be able to do all of the sets of 12 muscle ups in 1-3 sets. Customization options would be 2:1 of chest to bars, handstand push-ups, toes to bar, 1:1 of bar muscle ups, or reduce the number of ring muscle ups. After each set you’ve got 24 line facing burpees followed by a shuttle run. Since the shuttle run gives you a chance to relax your arms, we want to see you push the pace on the burpees and try to go bigger on the muscle ups than you’re comfortable with. After the 2nd round you get a 3 minute rest so shake your arms out and try to lower your heart rate. When we start back up with the four round segment we want you to push here especially if you’re good on the rings. Your goal should be 1 set to get all 6 reps each time, push the pace on the burpees, and run hard. If you struggle a bit on the rings, aim for a couple sets to try and get the 6 muscle ups, then you may need to throttle back a bit to give yourself enough time to recover between sets of muscle ups. For everyone, game the burpees based on your ring muscle up abilities. If you rock the rings then let’s push the pace on the burpees. If you struggle on the rings or pulling gymnastics in general then you can either push the pace and rest a bit before starting your gymnastics movement OR you can coast a bit on the burpees knowing that you’re saving yourself for the gymnastics.
