Scaling:
Today’s workout falls within a moderate time domain. All of the holds and hangs are cumulative. Break as needed and chip away. To keep the workout moving, scale the L-sit hold to a variation that allows you to maintain at least a 10-second hold. Scale the hang to a variation that allows you to maintain around 30 seconds at a time. The load on the barbell should be light-moderate. You should be able to perform at least 10 reps unbroken with the weight you choose. Work hard and have fun!

Scaling:
Time to get gymnasty. The goal of the freestanding shoulder taps is to reach a point of balance in a handstand and begin the shoulder taps. A rep is counted every time a hand touches a shoulder. Challenge yourself to reach balance before beginning the shoulder taps rather than wildly throwing your feet in the air and frantically looking for a shoulder to tap. If you struggle to find a point of balance freestanding, you are better off practicing against the wall. Performing shoulder taps with your stomach facing the wall will be easier than performing shoulder taps with your back to the wall. Scale the difficulty of the rope climbs to allow yourself at least 1 rep every 20-30 seconds.
Intermediate option:
For reps:
3 minutes of shoulder taps in a handstand against the wall

Scaling:
In today’s gymnastics couplet, you can choose your own adventure — break the two exercises up and alternate between them however you need. Expect muscle fatigue to be a factor in this workout. Advanced athletes can try to maintain larger sets on the bar muscle-ups, while less-experienced athletes may choose to break the two movements into sets that minimize fatigue and allow for minimal rest. Breaks and rest periods are inevitable, however, aim to avoid hitting failure on either movement.
Intermediate option:
For time:
70 burpees to a target (6 inches above your reach)
35 chest-to-bar pull-ups
Alternate and break the two exercises up into as many sets as needed to complete the workout as quickly as possible.
Beginner option:
For time:
50 burpees
25 jumping pull-ups
Alternate and break the two exercises up into as many sets as needed to complete the workout as quickly as possible.

For time:
800-meter run
30 burpee bar muscle-ups
800-meter run

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.
