Circuit
A
20 Min EMOM (Aim for 45-50 seconds of work with the rest of the time being left to transition to the next movement) *IMPORTANT* the priority is always quality movement over number of reps. If you are moving incorrectly and/or losing your core, you are not developing the right positions for your muscle ups. Min 1: Burpees Don't sprint this move at a moderate pace Min 2: Jump to Ring Support Hold for 2-3 seconds in the catch position (arms bent), then press and hold at the top of the ring support (arms straight pressing into rings) and hold for 2-3 seconds. Repeat this jump and hold throughout the minute Min 3: Ball Slam #16 When you bring the ball overheard, extend all the way up on your toes. Use your core and lats to throw the ball down. Min 4: Ring Row Set to the same height as day 1, remember to keep your core engaged and rotate the rings to your side as you pull Min 5: Rest
