Complete as many reps as possible in 12 minutes:
4 wall walks
8 chest-to-bar pull-ups
12 single-dumbbell overhead walking lunges

♀ 35 lb
♂ 50 lb

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a high-skill triplet. Choose scaling options that challenge you but allow you to maintain a consistent pace for the entire workout. Adjust movements, load, and volume if needed to complete each round in less than 3 minutes. Switch hands as needed on the overhead dumbbell lunges; otherwise, these reps should be unbroken. As you begin to fatigue, manage your rest and minimize the amount of time spent looking at the pull-up bar and/or lying on the ground.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 12 minutes:
2 wall walks
8 chin-over-bar pull-ups
12 single-dumbbell overhead walking lunges

3 rounds for time of:
10 strict chest-to-bar pull-ups
20 hand-release push-ups
30 dumbbell front-rack walking lunges

♀ 20 lb
♂ 35 lb

Post times to comments.

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)
20 unweighted walking lunges
