– These rounds should take 3:30 or less to complete, giving you at least 30 seconds of rest between sets
– Choose a bar muscle-up number you can complete in under 45 seconds
– Alternate arms every rep on the snatches
– This should also be a weight that you can complete in under 45 seconds
– Adjust the reps or run distance as needed to stay under the 3:30 per round mark
Strategy
THE BIG TAKEAWAYS
1. With your score being the slowest of the 6 rounds, look to find a sustainable speed from the very beginning. It can almost be helpful in workouts like this to declare your first round as your slowest time of the day.
2. Push the inside movements and find a steady run pace. The difference makers of this workout isn’t the running, it’s the efficiency and speed on the muscle-ups and snatches. Run at a pace that allows you to thrive on the next round of higher priority movements.
