Muscle snatch 15-12-9 reps
with same load and 1 minute between sets.
The muscle snatch is a snatch without the dive under the bar.
The idea is to deadlift and as you pass the knees, rapidly explode
the hip and follow through with an explosive pull straight through
to locked out overhead. This snatch is a regular support exercise
from the Olympic lifting repertoire. It places a heavy emphasis on
the upper body compared to the Snatch.

Ten muscle-ups (max effort, take as much time as needed, record the time to complete all ten)
One rope climb with no legs or five with legs.
Twenty handstand push-ups by any means. Have spotter pull you up by ankles if needed.
Practice lowering from handstand to planche (body parallel to floor, arms locked) Have spotter
support your ankles and lower you to parallel. Hold at parallel, with spotter minimally helping,
for five full seconds.

Can you perform this sequence every minute on the minute for thirty minutes?
Straight arm, straight body, straight leg pull to inverted hang on pull-up bar.
Lower to normal hang and perform 1 pull-up.
Lower to hang and pull knees to elbows.
Drop and perform 7 squats.
Drop to floor and perform three push-ups.
Notes:
Count total circuits completed within thirty minutes.
Straight-straight-straight pull to inverted hang is tough curl up enough
to more readily pull to inverted hang then extend the body and lower back
to normal hang "straightened out."
Incidentally, this is a whole body workout of immense practicality.
