Notes:
1. Have a spotter assist when needed. The idea is to get above the
rings at full arm extension with minimal assistance.
2. Two athletes can take turns each completing one muscle-up
each minute for thirty minutes.
Scaling:
If muscle-ups and double-unders are not yet developed, intensity is less important than facilitating practice and technical refinement. If you are proficient with muscle-ups and double-unders, attempt to finish quickly with minimal breaks.
Intermediate Option:
For time:
5 muscle-ups with minimal kip
50 double-unders
4 muscle-ups with minimal kip
40 double-unders
