WOD – Wed, Jul 30

Intent

This workout focuses on strength endurance and gymnastics skill development, combining high-rep squats with muscle-ups. It challenges athletes to pace properly and maintain form across both movements to avoid fatigue. The ring muscle ups will be the biggest limiter here today, break them up early and often even if you are an advanced athlete and it will pay off late. The focus should be on using the rings, but as a non negotiable for some, consider bar muscle ups as a sub. If athletes have ring muscle ups a round per round reduction in reps is a great way to keep moving and fight to keep the original design.
