Intent

Today we practice our ring muscle ups skills! Can anyone get their first? After we hit some new body weight PR’s we will speed through a high skill, high load challenge that is all about speed. When looking at the 12 reps that make up each round, athletes should scale so that each round of work takes less than 1:00 or very close to it. It will seem easy for athletes early but into rounds 5-10 the real challenge starts. Scale volume of ring muscle ups before you scale the difficulty of them. The load of deadlifts can be challenging but should be a weight athletes can do unbroken.
