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.

Intermediate option:
For time:
600-meter run
30 burpee jumping bar muscle-ups
600-meter run
*Use a pull-up bar that is elbow height when your arms are overhead.

Beginner option:
For time:
400-meter run
20 burpee low-ring muscle-up transitions
400-meter run
*Perform a burpee, and then a single low-ring muscle-up transition.

Scaling:
If muscle-ups and double-unders are not yet developed, intensity is less important than facilitating practice and technical refinement. If you are proficient with muscle-ups and double-unders, attempt to finish quickly with minimal breaks.

Scaling:
Today’s chipper is a sprint, but expect significant localized muscle fatigue. Workouts with conflicting movement patterns are a great way to build strength and stamina — you also quickly find out how many repetitions you can do before hitting failure. If you have done the Hero workout JT, you’ll understand the feeling.

The load of the barbell should be relatively light and allow you to perform the overhead squats in 3 sets or less. Reduce the volume first when scaling the GHD sit-ups, handstand push-ups, or ring muscle-ups. If you modify the muscle-ups, perform a challenging variation of a low-ring muscle-up transition.

Intermediate option:
For time:
50 GHD sit-ups (to parallel)
