Post reps to comments.

Scaling:
Today we have an ascending ladder of ring dips and burpees paired with a consistent number of hang power cleans. The load of the barbell is moderately heavy and should allow you to complete 5 reps in 2 sets or less. Advanced athletes may be able to maintain unbroken reps throughout the workout. Athletes performing the ring dips as prescribed should be able to maintain consistent sets of 3-5 unbroken reps. Expect the ring dips and burpees to cause localized muscle fatigue and the hang power cleans to be a welcomed “break.” Work hard and have fun today!

Intermediate option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
1 ring dip
2 burpees
5 hang power cleans
2 ring dips

Guest Programmer – Christian Harris
June 24-July 7, 2024

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

♀ 155-lb barbell, 50-lb dumbbells, 14-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target
♂ 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.

Meet Guest Programmer – Michele Letendre: Dec. 4-17, 2023.

3 rounds for time of:
Row 500 meters
15 ring dips
5 bar muscle-ups

Post time to comments.

Goal: Upper-body endurance. Aim to finish in 10-14 minutes.

If you are efficient at a high volume of unbroken ring dips and bar muscle-ups, this workout is going to be about the row. Other athletes will be limited by upper-body endurance. The row and the ring dips will compound, making the bar muscle-ups more difficult, so technique is key to staying efficient.

Aim for a hard effort on the row, finishing between 1:45 and 2:05. Aim for a consistent rep scheme on the ring dips whether that's unbroken, 10 and 5, or 3 sets of 5, and an unbroken effort on the bar muscle-ups.

Scaling:

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
Row 500 meters
10 band-assisted strict ring dips
5 jumping bar muscle-ups

Beginner option:
Row 350 meters
10 foot-assisted bar dips
5 jumping pull-ups

Beginner athletes may struggle on the dips. Scale the difficulty so you can complete sets of 5 at the start. Jumping pull-ups should be difficult enough that you feel yourself pull your chin over the bar rather than just jumping.
