Today we’re using a heavier medicine ball than we typically see on the wall ball and mixing in weighted runs. Select a weight outside your comfort zone and tackle this grueling workout. Beginners should reduce the overall volume.

For time:
5 rope climbs to 15 feet
25 deadlifts
50 wall-ball shots
200-foot farmers carry
50 wall-ball shots

5 rope climbs to 15 feet

♂ 225-lb barbell, 70-lb dumbbells, 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target

Scaling:
Today’s pyramid workout is going to be a grind with each movement effectively fatiguing the following movement. For example, the rope climbs will affect your grip during the deadlifts, while the deadlifts will tax your legs for the wall-ball shots, and so on. Advanced athletes can push to finish under 12-13 minutes. However, expect most to complete today’s workout in the 15- to 20-minute range. Choose scaling and loading options that allow you to keep moving consistently. Use a load for the deadlifts that will allow you to complete them in 3 or less sets the first time through.

For time:
800-meter run
30 burpee bar muscle-ups
800-meter run

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Thirty bar muscle-ups for time is a well-known benchmark. Today, we’ll add a burpee to each bar muscle-up and sandwich them between 800-meter runs. This is a nice progression from the burpee pull-ups we saw on 240430.

The burpee bar muscle-up is a forgotten tool when developing bar muscle-up capacity because effectively, you’re doing 30 single bar muscle-ups. The first bar muscle-up of a set is arguably the hardest, as when you come down from the top of the first rep, you can naturally generate more swing and a bigger kip into consecutive reps. Today, the goal is to make that first bar muscle-up a little easier by practicing it 30 times.

The first 800-meter run should raise the heart rate, and the burpee will cause core fatigue and pushing redundancy with the bar muscle-up, so this workout does get grimy. The burpee quickly becomes a mental test of making sure you keep moving. Finishing with the run means we can let loose and push the pace — aim to finish the last 800 meters faster than the first.

A great goal is to complete this workout in sub-15 minutes, and those who really want to push can aim for the 10-minute mark.

Intermediate option:
For time:
600-meter run
30 burpee jumping bar muscle-ups
600-meter run
*Use a pull-up bar that is elbow height when your arms are overhead.

Beginner option:
For time:
400-meter run
20 burpee low-ring muscle-up transitions
400-meter run
*Perform a burpee, and then a single low-ring muscle-up transition.
