STIMULUS and GOALS
The stimulus for today’s workout is moderate steady effort with the goal to keep consistent round times. It’s a grind and athletes need to be mindful of finding a sustainable pace early on to help avoid blowing up their legs.
Running and squats, doesn’t get much simpler than that. This workout is all about fighting that urge to stop moving. Get on the run and coast for damage control and when you get to the squats, make it a goal to do whatever it takes to keep the legs moving.
For quality:
Ring Muscle-up Practice, 15 mins
Partner up and take 10-15 minutes to progress through some low-ring muscle-up transitions.
Set up:
– Ring height is where the bottom of the rings measures in line with the top of the hip crease. Spacing should be about shoulder width.
– Use a false grip from the start and through the transition.
– Ideally, feet are placed directly underneath the rings while getting in the “Ugly position” and shooting the knees through with the hips and chest parallel to the ceiling.
– Focus on pulling the bottom of the chest/top of the stomach to the rings with hips staying in line and then driving the shoulders overtop into the catch with the chest facing down and shoulders resting on top of the rings.
– Actively squeeze the rings to your sides, press straight up to extension, and once lockout is reached, jump down to the floor.
