Conditioning Training Note
The last workout of the week is another one pulled from our 2020 training. We hit this one the last week of October that year so take a look back if you’ve been with us since then! For this workout we’re looking for the toes to bar to be completed in 1-2 sets, the overhead squats in 1-2 sets, the muscle ups in 1-3 sets, and the squat snatches as singles. The ring muscle ups will be the crux of this workout for the majority of you so the other movements are all about mitigating fatigue in preparation for those. If you go too hot or hang on too long you might drastically affect your muscle ups negatively which will eat into your time way more than a quick break on the toes to bar or overhead squats. If you’re hitting the partner option aside from the toes to bar everything is split so we’re looking for 1-2 sets on the toes to bar based on capacity, and then it’s work/rest for the remainder and someone should always be working!
