Athlete Training Notes:
It’s a bar muscle up, rowing, hang clean and jerk sandwich today. This one is going to get grippy. How we’d approach this workout is time based. You should aim to be done with the bar muscle ups in around 60-90 seconds based on abilities. That means 1-2 sets. After that you’ll hop on the rower and you should aim to hold a pace that you could hold for 10+ minutes. It’s not a sprint, but you aren’t out for a Sunday stroll either. Once you’re off the rower it’s unbroken or bust on those hang clean and jerks. Just work on your rhythm and efficiency with those. Added plus is that they’re descending reps so it gets easier everytime you pick the dumbbell back up. The second and 3rd row should be similar to your first one. If you go too fast and then stare at the dumbbell you’re not progressing in the workout. If you row a little slower you’re still making progress towards the end goal and then hopefully not resting at all to pick up the dumbbell. It’s all about seconds gained and lost in these workouts. For many of you the last 15 bar muscle ups are going to be the deciding factor in this workout. Were you able to minimize grip fatigue from the other parts? How well can you hang on when your forearms are screaming? The goal here is obviously fewest sets to get the 15 done, but it’s also a test of efficiency and what works best for you? Big set, big rest? Short sets short rest? We would err on the side of knocking out as many as you can the first time you jump up so that you get a little mental victory as well.
