Athlete Notes:
For today’s workout we’ve taken Regionals Nate from a few years back and flipped things around a bit to change the intensity. The strict muscle ups were the crux for most people in this event so we’ve changed those to normal ring muscle-ups, BUT we’ve added the deficit to the handstand push-ups to slow those down. When you get to the kettlebell, wear a wrist band on your forearms (you’ll thank us later) and make sure you’re trying to split reps as evenly as possible between arms. Smooth and efficient is going to be the pace for today’s workout. Too fast out of the gates and you’ll blow up early. Find what your threshold is and try to hang there. Use the transitions as a chance to catch a quick breath so that you can remain efficient on the higher skill movements.
