Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic benchmark. If you have completed this workout before, check your last time and use that information to help you attack today’s effort. In most cases, this workout should take 10 minutes or less. However, if you have been practicing and accumulating pulling and pressing volume, today can be a good day to work until you complete the reps — don’t worry about the clock. You can build confidence and establish a time for this benchmark.
Scaling:
Reduce the total number of reps or perform the intermediate option.
To adjust the complexity of the movement, consider a jumping ring muscle-up, a banded ring muscle-up, pull-ups or chest-to-bar pull-ups + dips, or low-ring transitions.
In case of injury or limitation, perform low-ring transitions or a single-arm dumbbell hang clean and shoulder press.
Intermediate option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
Ring muscle-ups
– Your workout is over if you complete 30 reps before the 10-minute mark.
Beginner option:
For time:
30 low-ring muscle-up transitions
Coaching cues:
To link ring muscle-ups together, at the top of the rep, let the shoulders fall back behind the rings while the arms push the body away from the rings. The feet should be directly below the body, if not slightly in front, as you are pushing away. This technique will send you right into the next swing.
