Stimulus: High-Skill Gymnastics / Cyclical Shoulder Density
RPE: 8/10
Primary Objective: Maintain unbroken transitions across muscle-ups, HSPU, and KB swings
Secondary Objective: Build sustainable upper-body volume while staying aerobic
Workout Strategy:
“Nate” is a CrossFit benchmark that rewards smooth transitions and consistent unbroken effort. Athletes should aim to keep each movement tight and fluid, moving at a controlled but relentless pace.
The pairing of gymnastic pushing and pulling, combined with a heavier kettlebell swing, creates shoulder fatigue fast—so strategy matters. Advanced athletes should look to move every ~90 seconds per round, staying unbroken with minimal transition time. Intermediate athletes can aim for 2:00–2:15 per round, keeping a sustainable rhythm.
For newer Rx athletes or those still building volume in muscle-ups or HSPU, the goal is 6–8 rounds with clean reps and focus on movement quality. Cue deliberate rest between rounds if needed to stay consistent across the full 20:00.
Movement Modifications:

Kettlebell Swings: Reduce load first (53/35, 24/16kg), Modify to Russian Kettlebell Swings (eye-level), Substitute Dumbbell Swing if KB unavailable

Ring Muscle-Ups: Scale to 2 Low Ring Transitions + Dip, Strict Option: 2 Strict Pull-Ups + 2 Strict Dips
Beginner: 3-4 Burpee Pull-Ups

Handstand Push-Ups: Wall-Facing or Kipping HSPU, Pike Push-Ups on a Box, Strict Dumbbell Press (light weight)
