Athlete Notes:
High skill gymnastics paired with a heavy barbell is going to force you to be able to be a gymnast while still being able to lift heavy. it mitigates advantages that either the power athlete or the gymnastics athlete have if they’re not well rounded! For today’s workout we’re looking for all of the sets of muscle ups to be completed in 1-2 sets. For the squat cleans you’re likely going to be hitting singles on these. Make sure you’re staying right in front of the barbell and not taking steps away from it between reps. Focus on a tight swing, a strong turnover, and using your hips to pop out of the dip on the muscle up to save your arms and your pulling strength. This one is going to come down to being consistent on the muscle ups and smooth on the barbell. We’re looking for the workout to take less than 10-12 minutes, so please customize accordingly.
