STIMULUS and GOALS

• How to Pace: STEADY into CHALLENGE! Time to get gymnasty in this 4-round total body wrecker. Be strategic early on with the sets and use the lower body movements to recover the shoulders/arms to sustain a consistent work flow.

• How it should Feel: GASSY and/or MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! Approach the first round a little cautious to see how the arms do, then make adjustments.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW

• Ring Muscle Ups : 1-2 sets is where we want to live. Make sure to take a few second before jumping up and be overly explosive with your hips.

• Shuttle Runs : Remember down 25ft and back 25ft is 1 rep. Smooth and steady while focusing on keeping your arms relaxed.

• Strict Handstand Push Ups : 1-3 sets, look to break these up sooner than you think if muscle up pose a challenge. Don’t smoke your triceps!

—– Scale these to either: Strict Box Handstand Push Ups OR Pike Push Ups

• Pistols : Like the shuttle runs use this as an opportunity to recover your upper body. Find your balance early and try to stay as close to non-stop as possible.

—– scale to:

Pistol Squat to Box OR Toe Spot Pistol
