Strategy

THE BIG TAKEAWAYS

1. Find a steady pace on the run. We want to be conservative here knowing that we have a high skill movements coming up next. Purposefully slow your pace the last 100-200m in order to be able to hop right up on the rings when you get in.

2. The number of ring muscle ups each round should be something you can complete the reps in no more than 2 sets. With that being said, we also want to make sure our breaks are short and that we control the rings when we need to break so that we don’t need to spend time trying to stop them from swinging before hopping back up.

3. While the squat snatches are at a relatively light weight, going singles here may be the best way for athletes to maintain big sets on the muscle ups. Going with quick singles will also keep the heart rate at bay. If you are a gymnastics ninja, touch and go sets on the snatches is also an option.

4. The key thing in the second part of the workout is to stay composed. We want to stay calm and in control to avoid mistakes or getting ahead of ourselves.
