Scaling:

In today’s workout, be sure to pay attention to the scheme of each triplet. Rounds are increasing and reps are decreasing throughout each section. The loading of the barbell should allow you to do at least 10 reps unbroken every time you pick it up. For the ring dips and rope climbs, manage your reps, and don’t push to failure. Consider breaking the ring dips into sets of 5 to minimize fatigue and keep pushing forward through the workout.

5 squat snatches

15 bar-facing burpees

♀ 125 lb

♂ 185 lb

Post fastest and slowest time to comments.

Scaling:

Today’s workout is meant to be sprint efforts. The loading of the squat snatch is meant to be on the heavier side. This will force most athletes to perform 5 fast singles in each set. Push the pace on the burpees and finish as quickly as possible. Scale the loading of the barbell and the number of burpees to complete each set in 2 minutes or less, giving you at least 1 minute of rest between sets.

3 wall walks

6 thrusters

18 burpees over the barbell

♀ 125 lb

Post rounds and reps to comments

Scaling:

This will be a grind. The total volume of this workout will challenge the best of us. The technical portion of the wall walks and thrusters will become a challenge as the fatigue settles in. The goal is to complete 5 to 6 rounds. Scale by lowering the wall walk volume or range of motion, and lowering the thruster weight.

2 wall walks

Weighted strict muscle-up 1-1-1 reps

Then,

For time:

30 ring muscle-ups

*Every time you break, perform 10 box jumps.

♀ 24 inches

♂ 30 inches

Post loads and time to comments.

Scaling:

Today, the goal is to see how much weight you can hold with your legs, using a medicine ball or on a weight belt around your waist, while performing a strict muscle-up. If you cannot perform a strict muscle-up, consider a strict weighted or unweighted pull-up. Beginner athletes can work on the low-ring muscle-up progression for 15 minutes. All athletes should add weight in a way that enables them to safely descend from the muscle-up or pull-up.

After the weighted strict muscle-ups, complete 30 muscle-ups for time. Push so you approach failure in your sets to avoid accumulating excess box jumps. With that said, if you have not yet reached 30 reps, cap the workout at a max of 6 sets.

Intermediate option:

Weighted strict pull-up 1-1-1 reps

Then,

6 sets for max reps:

Ring muscle-ups

*Following each set, complete 10 box jumps.

Featured Article

Training at a CrossFit affiliate is an ideal scenario. Here, we have all the necessary equipment and a built-in community of friends, supporters, and coaches dedicated to our success. But even if we go to a great affiliate, that doesn’t mean we need to forgo our own gym. With a workout area at home, we can work on the many movements included in CrossFit programming any time we want. Knocking out a few pull-ups or muscle-up transition drills while watching our favorite TV show is a great strategy to improve our pull-ups or muscle-ups. Every morning or evening is an opportunity to do some mobility work and practice air squats, thrusters, handstands, or any other skill we want to master.
