Athlete Notes:
Today’s workout is all about gymnastics volume accumulation. You’re going to be doing 42 total muscle ups over the course of this workout. If you’re a gymnastics champ then this is your moment to shine! We want to see how well you can push here and if you can push to do them unbroken. The run and the bike are essentially irrelevant in this workout. They’re just your short opportunity to shake your arms out and give the next gymnastics movement a go. If you’re someone who is struggling with muscle ups, that’s ok, but for the sake of a workout we’d recommend practicing your muscle ups prior to the workout, and then following the substitutions for the actual workout itself! Let us know in the comments what went well and if you surprised yourself with anything!
