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.

21-15-9 reps for time of:
Calorie row
Burpee pull-ups
*Pull-up bar 6 inches from fingertips with arms overhead.
Post time to comments.
Scaling:
Today’s workout is a burner and there is no reason to stop moving. Experienced athletes should sell their sousl on the rower and hold their heads above water on the burpee pull-ups. Beginner athletes should pace the row and move consistently on the burpee pull-ups. To make the burpee pull-ups easier, use a bar closer to your fingertips when arms are overhead, allowing you to perform more of a jumping pull-up.
Intermediate option:
21-15-9 reps for time of:
Calorie row
Burpee pull-ups
*Pull-up bar 1 inch from fingertips with arms overhead.
Beginner option:
15-12-9 reps for time of:
Calorie row
Burpee pull-ups
*Pull-up bar between forearm and elbow with arms overhead.
