Scaling:
Today’s triplet has a short to moderate time domain, depending on your ability to manage your strict gymnastics strength and stamina. Perform this workout as prescribed if you can complete at least 3 unbroken strict chest-to-bar pull-ups and 5-7 hand-release push-ups without deviation of your midline (aka “snaking” your push-ups). The loading of the lunges in this workout should be light enough that you can perform each round unbroken. Don’t stop moving on the lunges, and challenge yourself to perform one more pull-up or push-up before breaking on each round.
Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
10 strict chin-over-bar pull-ups
20 hand-release push-ups
30 dumbbell front-rack walking lunges
♀ 15 lb
♂ 25 lb
Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
10 ring rows
15 hand-release push-ups (from the knees)
