Athlete Notes:
Today’s workout is going to be a great test of your gymnastics endurance as well as your grip strength! Every movement involves you gripping something, from the pull-up bar, to the rower handle, and even your jump rope handle. At the end of it, it will come down to volume accumulation throughout the workout, so why not try to move through it quickly before your forearms blow up! We would advise quick sets and quick rest on the toes to bar. Hopefully you are able to accomplish the 50 reps in 4 sets or fewer. NEVER plan to break on the double unders, but if you do trip, take a breath, gather yourself, and then get back at it. On the row, you should aim to be somewhere around your 1-2k pace. Any faster than that and you might be doing yourself a disservice on the bar muscle ups…on the flip side, don’t let yourself go too much slower than that! The strategy for bar muscle ups to finish the workout are pretty simple, just get them done however you can! Your heartrate will be elevated and your grip will be pretty smoked at this point, but hold on and see what you’re capable of under fatigue! It’s a great chance to practice finishing a workout with a complex gymnastics movement, much like the open workout this year!
